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.

In a brief interview with ITV Racing's Matt Chapman, Ferguson was asked who he wanted to win the two-horse race for this season's title. 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.
Protektorat and Hitman are the two other horses at this year's festival that Ferguson part-owns. The latter rides on Thursday before the former runs in Friday's showpiece race.
