(Reuters) - 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 sides 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," he added."When this happens, you realise the magnitude of this United in this 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.
