Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has named the present Manchester City squad as one of the best teams ever in the Premier League.
Ferdinand also said that he could not compare Manchester City’s current side to the Manchester United team he played in until they win this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Man City were crowned Premier League champions for the fifth time in the last six years last weekend.
“I have to say congratulations to Man City. Three in a row, they have been formidable,” Ferdinand said on the Vibe with FIVE podcast.
“This team will be talked about as one of the best Premier League teams ever, no doubt. They might be better [than the 2007/2008 Manchester United team], but they need to win a few more things.
“If they [Man City] win the [UEFA] Champions League, then that conversation definitely happens. They can’t say it yet! They have got to win the Champions League.”
Meanwhile, Man City still have a FA Cup final to play against Man United in the coming days and also a Champions League final against Inter Milan.
