Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has denied accusations that he hates North London club, Arsenal, saying he does not mind if the club win the English Premier League (EPL) this season.
Ferdinand, however, said he does not want Red Devils’ city rivals, Manchester City, Merseyside club, Liverpool and West London club, Chelsea to win the title.
The former England defender made the revelation while speaking on Vibe with Five, where he said he does not mind if another big Premier League team, Arsenal go on to win the league.

He said, “People look at me and say I hate Arsenal. No, I don’t hate Arsenal.
“If there’s any other big team I wouldn’t mind winning the league, it would be Arsenal.
“I don’t win Man City to win it. I don’t want Liverpool to win it. I don’t want Chelsea to win it,” Ferdinand said.
Arsenal with 37 points from 14 Premier League matches go into the 2022 World Cup break top of the league, five more than reigning champions and nearest contender Manchester City.
