Manchester City can match the greatness of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United if they clinch a fourth Premier League title in five seasons with a victory against Aston Villa on Sunday, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Ferguson's United achieved that feat three times, establishing themselves as the dominant force in English football during the Scot's 26-year reign.

“Just Sir Alex Ferguson with United could do four in five years. When this happens, you realise the magnitude of United in that period and how he they were able to do it many times. We're close to being a part of that and we have to try to take it.” Guardiola already has one eye on next season, with City bringing in striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this month to bolster their squad. The 21-year-old Norwegian, who scored 29 goals for Dortmund last season, is one of the most exciting talents in Europe but Guardiola warned against expecting the youngster to deliver straight away.
