Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United will have had a better season than Arsenal if they finish third and the Gunners fail to win the Premier League.
Arsenal currently sit top of the table after 31 matches, a position which they have occupied for much of the season. Mikel Arteta's side have shown signs of wilting in recent weeks, though, squandering two-goal leads in each of their last two matches at West Ham United and Liverpool, which has seen the gap to Manchester City close to just four.
City still possess a game in hand over Arsenal and boast a superior goal difference, with the two sides set to go head-to-head at the Etihad next week, which could ultimately prove to be decisive. United, meanwhile, have been in and around the top four spots all season and have enjoyed a much improved campaign from the struggles of last term.
