Jeff Sterling dismisses Rio Ferdinand’s comments about Mikel Arteta and Man United job

Speaking on talkSPORT, ex-Sky Sports presenter Jeff Sterling said: “Rio Ferdinand said Mikel Arteta would ‘100 per cent’ go to Old Trafford and become Manchester United boss if he was offered.

“Now, Rio was speaking — surprise, surprise — on his YouTube channel.

“I think that’s known as clickbait, Rio. We’re not all as daft as we look, pal. Talk about nonsense! We’re gullible, but we’re not that gullible.”

Ferdinand, who simply can’t stop talking about Arsenal, has recently suggested that Arteta would leave the Emirates in a heartbeat for Man United.

For what it’s worth, the Spaniard has recently shut down all talk about a potential summer move to Barcelona, proving his commitment to the Gunners.
