Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has argued that only three managers would snub the Red Devils and join Arsenal instead.<\/p>\n
Man Utd<\/strong> are in the process of appointing a new permanent manager, with interim boss Michael Carrick said to be one of the \u2018leading\u2019 contenders, while three alternatives have been \u2018ruled out\u2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n And there will inevitably be calls for Arsenal<\/strong> also to bring in a new manager if current boss Mikel Arteta fails to win the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n The Gunners remain the favourites to win the Premier League this season, but they are enduring a woeful April and the title is in Man City\u2019s hands after last weekend\u2019s results.<\/p>\n Arsenal will look to wrestle back control of the title race when they face Man City at the Etihad on Sunday, and Ferdinand has warned them against sacking Arteta.<\/p>\n According to Ferdinand, only three Arsenal legends would choose the current Premier League leaders over Man Utd.<\/p>\n \u201cI would be careful what you wish for if I was an Arsenal fan if you think getting rid of Arteta is the best thing you guys could do,\u201d Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n READ: Premier League player power rankings: West Ham hero surges as Guehi puts pressure on top two \u201cYou have to remember where you guys were when he came. You guys are consistently qualifying for the Champions League, you weren\u2019t before Arteta came. You\u2019re finishing second most of the time, fighting for the Premier League year in, year out.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve got to get over the line, yes I know, but you think the grass is greener over there with another manager? Who is the other manager?<\/p>\n \u201cHe (Luis Enrique) is not coming to Arsenal. He\u2019s leaving the best team in the world to go to Arsenal \u2013 are you crazy?<\/p>\n \u201cEvery manager other than Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira or Cesc Fabregas would go to Man United over Arsenal.<\/p>\n \u201cHe (Fabregas) doesn\u2019t guarantee you anything, he hasn\u2019t won anything, as talented as he is.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just saying, it\u2019s not like you go from Arteta and say, \u2018we\u2019ve got a certainty\u2019. Pep\u2019s your only certainty and he\u2019s not going to Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Arsenal plummet in Premier League mood rankings; bottling almost as bad as relegation Ferdinand has also hit back at critics of Arsenal\u2019s summer signing Martin Zubimendi and revealed what their \u201cbiggest problem\u201d is.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen it, I\u2019ve seen it loud and clear,\u201d Ferdinand added.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are saying he\u2019s been a liability, he was bought just because of a good game in the Euros final, he\u2019s the weak link.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, he might be at fault for a goal or something like that, he\u2019s given the ball away a few times or made mistakes when the ball has been played directly from a goalkeeper in that holding role, but I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s down to him.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Arsenal\u2019s biggest problem is their lack of attacking flair, their willingness to just take the shackles off and go for it. That for me, I\u2019d be worried about that as an Arsenal fan.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Salah next?
