Manchester City struck gold when they signed Aguero from Atletico in 2011. The striker went on to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/aguero-remembered-man-city-legend-on-off-field/blt092a5fd6f9cc4d7e" target="_blank">become the club's greatest ever goalscorer</a> and enjoyed phenomenal success with the Cityzens, winning five Premier League titles, the FA Cup and six League Cups. Yet the former Argentina international has admitted he actually loved to watch Liverpool when he was younger and was inspired by one player in particular.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"I used to like Liverpool when I was younger because of Owen, who had also started as a teenager. Even when I was playing on my Playstation, I tried to play like Owen!" he told <a href="https://stake.com/sports/soccer" target="_blank">Stake</a>."In my 10 years at City, we've had amazing games with Liverpool. Even more so lately, fighting for the Premier League head to head. I've scored some important goals, but never got to score at Anfield, though."Aguero was also asked if he could have joined Liverpool earlier in his career and added: "I wouldn't know, really. I've read that they didn't go out for an offer because I was very young and it seemed like a risky bet for the transfer cost."

WHAT AGUERO  SAID

Manchester City and Liverpool are set to renew thei rivalry on Saturday in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium. In Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, the rivals possess two of the best attacking talents in the game and both will be eager to make an impact. City start the game just one point ahead of the Reds in the Premier League table.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Aguero remains City's all-time top goalscorer on 260 goals but will know that record could well be broken by Haaland. The Norwegian international has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/erling-haaland-breaks-man-city-scoring-record/bltc945d40964a81ab0" target="_blank">already broken one of Aguero's City records</a>, the most goals scored by a player at the club in a season, and currently sits on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-many-goals-has-erling-haaland-scored-during-his-career-man-city-superstar-s-crazy-stats-in-full/blt6b0b2af33bfbcb43#cs096eb3eae045535d" target="_blank">69 goals from 71 games played</a>.
