‘I think that will happen, I said it about Chelsea last season’ – Rio Ferdinand predicts team to win the league next season
After winning the Champions League last season, Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand predicted Chelsea will win the league at the start of the current season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, came up short and finished the season in third place.
However, Rio Ferdinand is backing Manchester City to win the Premier League for the third time in a row next season.
Asked for an early prediction on who will win the title next season, Ferdinand said on his Vibe with FIVE YouTube channel: “It depends on Man United’s recruitment. Jokes! No, no, no.
“Listen, I said at the beginning of this season that Chelsea would win it after winning the Champions League and what Tuchel had done but they went backwards.
“I’m going to go for City. I think they’ll get the three in a row they’re looking for. I think that will happen.
“But I think what Klopp’s done has been nothing short of remarkable, to come in and change that club around. Where they were is almost like where Man United are at now.
“So if Ten Hag can come in and do like what he [Klopp] did, we’ll be looking at him as a Messiah. So I think it’s only right we do that with Klopp.”
