Iheanacho Tipped To Replace Aguero In Starting XI For Manchester United Clash
Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho is being tipped to replace Sergio Aguero in the starting line-up when City face off against Manchester United in the Manchester derby on Saturday. <br /><br />The Argentinian has been suspended for the Premier League clash at Old Trafford and two other games after an FA charge of violent conduct against him was found proven.<br /><br />Previewing the fixture, the experts at <i>Sky Sports </i>reckon that Iheanacho would be the best player to replace Aguero.<br /><br /> “Iheanacho would be the closest thing to a straight swap having been a substitute under Guardiola in the Premier League so far, ’’ Adam Bate wrote. <br /><br />“The young forward boasted the best goals-per-minute record in the league last season and deputised for Aguero against Steaua Bucharest.<br /><br />“Whether it’s Iheanacho’s big moment, a false nine or some other tactical tweak, the challenge for Guardiola is to find the answer without Aguero.’’<br /><br />Iheanacho, 19, has not started a Premier League game since May 15 when he lasted 72 minutes on the pitch against Swansea City.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : mancity.com <br />
