Rio Ferdinand explains how Manchester United can still have 'better season' than Arsenal

Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United will have had a better season than Arsenal if the Gunners fail to win the Premier League title this season.

Mikel Arteta's men currently sit four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the top-flight table, however, the Blues have a game in hand on the London outfit. Arsenal, who dropped points in their last two matches after drawing with Liverpool and West Ham, face City at the Etihad Stadium next week.

The Gunners will have just a one-point lead over the reigning champions if Pep Guardiola's side win their games in hand, with Arsenal now likely to need a result against the Blues when the two sides meet on April 26. Given how long Arteta's side have been at the top of the table, several pundits have suggested it would be a failure if they fail to go on and lift the trophy.
