Sir Alex Ferguson makes Arsenal 'relegation' joke in Manchester United chat

Sir Alex Ferguson made a quip at Arsenal's expense ahead of the Premier League's return on Friday as the legendary Manchester United boss joked that the Gunners would be 'relegated' this season.

Throughout his time as United manager, Arsenal were on Ferguson's most fierce rivals, coming up against Arsene Wenger for more than two decades. Ferguson often got the better of the Gunners, though lost out to them in league title races in 1998, 2002 and 2004.

Ferguson retired from management in 2013, but remains a director at the club and is frequently seen around Old Trafford.
