LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Former Manchester United Coach, Sir Alex Ferguson has responded with a funny “not interested” vibe when asked about Arsenal’s Premier League title battle with Manchester City.
With 66 points, Arsenal are five points clear at the top of the league ahead of Manchester City, while third-placed United are far behind with 50 points.
The Premier League title race is set to go down the hill as Arsenal and Manchester City find themselves bottled in an intense battle for the ultimate prize in English football.
Mikel Arteta’s team boast a five-point lead over City with just 11 games left to play.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United have fallen drastically behind in third after losing 7-0 at Liverpool and drawing at home to Southampton.
With United no longer in the race as title contenders, Ferguson wasn’t particularly enthusiastic to answer who he thinks will win the trophy when asked at the sidelines of the Cheltenham races.
The legendary former United manager simply replied “I’m not interested” before breaking out a wary smile.
The Red Devils have not won the Premier League since Ferguson oversaw their 20th title success in the 2012-2013 season.
In the meantime, their arch-rivals Manchester City have won it on five occasions, the most of any club in the last decade.
Nevertheless, the Gunners are determined to end City’s reign this season as they chase their first domestic crown since the 2003-04 season.
