The former Citizens centre-back thinks that his old rivals have made a good purchase but that it is not enough to compete at the top of the league
Joleon Lescott believes Manchester United have made an excellent signing in Harry Maguire, but said that the £80 million ($97m) arrival from Leicester City won't be enough to allow the Red Devils to compete with their local rivals Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's City won the domestic treble last season and posted a remarkable 98 points, which was 32 more than sixth-placed United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is trying to make up some of that gap on the champions this season, Lescott thinks that the Guardiola factor makes his former club impossible to overcome.
