Diego Maradona believes Sergio Aguero deserves the chance to compete at the highest level with Manchester City.

Former Argentina star Diego Maradona believes fellow countryman Sergio Aguero made the right choice in moving to Manchester City.

Aguero joined City for £38m from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window and has made an immediate impact at Eastlands.

The 23-year-old scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 win over Wigan on Saturday and now has six goals from four appearances for City.

"I said Aguero needed a team that would support him, so that Aguero can play in the Champions League, can play in very important championships," said Maradona.

"It was not the case with Atletico Madrid. People from Atletico Madrid said I was a fool.

"I told them that foolish person wasn't me, because Aguero is now playing for a team that will fight for everything. Now Aguero is playing in a place that he deserves."

Maradona is Aguero's father-in-law and is now manager of Qatari side Al Wasl FC after an unsuccessful spell as manager of the Argentina national side.
