Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero will be looking to break Wayne Rooney's record in the Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero will be looking to break Wayne Rooney's record in the Manchester derby when the Citizens head to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

Aguero has managed nine derby goals during his time in England, one short of the City record, which is currently jointly-held by Joe Hayes and Francis Lee.

Rooney, meanwhile, is the all-time leading goalscorer in the Manchester derby with 11.

As a result, a double at Old Trafford this weekend would move him level with Rooney, while a hat-trick would see City's all-time leading goalscorer break another record.

The Argentina international has found the back of the net on 254 occasions in 367 appearances since arriving at the Etihad Stadium from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.

The 31-year-old's record this season stands at 23 goals in 29 outings but his contract with Pep Guardiola's side is due to expire at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

City are currently second in the Premier League table, 25 points off runaway leaders Liverpool.
