Alex Ferguson Hermes Allen Cheltenham Matt Chapman Cheltenham Festival

Alex Ferguson left a TV presenter laughing after giving a cheeky response to his last question.

Matt Chapman doorstepped Alex Ferguson at Cheltenham ahead of the first race of the day with Ferguson's horse Hermes Allen the favourite in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle.

Ferguson was confident ahead of the race, saying: "We're very excited, it's a really good horse, he's got the Irish to beat but we're confident".

Hermes Allen would not live up to the favourite tag with Impaire Et Passe racing to victory.

But at the end of his interview, Chapman asked Ferguson if Manchester City or Arsenal would win the Premier League.

Ferguson quipped: "Not interested!" leaving Chapman laughing.
