Sergio Aguero has declared he is not aware of internal problems at Manchester City despite the club’s turbulent start to 2023.
While the Citizens remain firmly in contention to win their third consecutive Premier League title after going back to the top of the table following their excellent 3-1 win at Arsenal, there has been a purely speculative sense of suspicion that all has not been well behind the scenes due to a number of notable events in recent weeks.
It’s understood relations had begun to sour between Guardiola and Cancelo, forcing City’s hand.
During that game, Gary Neville had suggested that something was wrong at City but when quizzed on whether that was the case, Aguero claims he is none the wiser.
Aguero was also unflinched when asked about Guardiola’s decision to drop De Bruyne, claiming rotation is nothing new for the Spanish tactician.
In addition to suffering two Premier League defeats – to Manchester United and Spurs – in the space of four days, it’s been a troublesome time off the field too for City.
The developments created a feeling of uncertainty and unease about City’s future but Guardiola has never been more sure that he is the man to continue leading the club forward.
And on Wednesday night, City were back to their brilliant best as they ran riot against Arsenal in north London, winning 3-1.
Goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland done the damage to put City back in the box seat in the title race.
