Man United great Sir Alex Ferguson's blunt response to who he'd prefer to win title out of Arsenal and Man City

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has said he is not interested in who wins the Premier League title this season out of Arsenal and Manchester City.

City trail their title rivals by five points in the Premier League table with 11 matches of the 2022/23 season remaining. Ferguson faced long-time Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger more times than he did any other opposition manager during his illustrious managerial career.

While Arsenal were often Ferguson's fiercest rivals in the race for the top-flight crown, neighbours City provided stiff competition in the Scotsman's latter years at the Old Trafford helm, and so when asked who he would prefer to win the title this season out of the Gunners and City we perhaps shouldn't be too shocked at his reply.

The 81-year-old replied: “I’m not interested.” The former United manager is a big horse racing fan and part-owns three runners at this year's Cheltenham Festival, but soon after speaking to Chapman he saw his horse Hermes Allen beaten in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle.
