Manchester City’s official twitter account has challenged Flying Eagles duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidebere Nwakali to beat Sergio Aguero’s six goals at the 2007 edition of the U-20 World Cup.
The duo, who are on the pay-roll of the English Premier League giant and helped Nigeria lift the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2013 have been asked a twitter question by Manchester City as both youngsters prepare to represent Nigeria at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup which is scheduled to start today in New Zealand.
Iheanacho looks to be in fine form as he has scored six goals in his last seven games for City’s youth teams and Nwakali, who is on loan at Spanish club Malaga, will both be monitored by the Citizens at the U-20 World Cup.

The English Premier League club, Manchester City has asked on Twitter if Iheanacho and Nwakali will follow in Sergio Agüero footsteps?
The Tweet reads: “Will @Rony10Lopes or @67Kelechi & Nwakali follow in @aguerosergiokun’s footsteps?”
Sergio Agüero scored six goals in the tournament and won the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball at the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2007 as Argentina triumphed for the sixth time.
Iheanacho, who is eyeing first team action with Manchester City next season, was named Player of the Tournament at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup and will hope to put up a stellar performance at the FIFA U-20 World Cup where African Champions, Nigeria, are considered tournament favourites.
The youngster’s father had, a few days ago, told the world media that his son will be the star player of the world cup and help Nigeria win the only cadet trophy which has been eluding her, when the mundial gets underway in New Zealand this weekend.
