\"Rio\n<\/div>

Rio Ferdinand has warned Arsenal they won\u2019t deserve to end the season as Premier League champions if they are unable to beat a depleted Manchester United at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n

The Gunners know any slip between now and the end of the campaign is likely to prove terminal with Manchester City in rampant form and closing in on a fourth successive title. <\/p>\n

Arsenal, themselves, have swept all before them in recent weeks and will be confident of piling yet more pressure on the under-fire Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman, who is battling to save his job, will likely be boosted by the potential returns of Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes but are still likely to be without a number of key defensive personnel. <\/p>\n

\u2018I think if Arsenal lose against Manchester United in this game they don\u2019t deserve to be champions,\u2019 said Ferdinand, previewing the heavyweight clash for Vibe. <\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019re going to a team that\u2019s depleted and lacking confidence, almost nothing to play for in the league now and these the teams you want to play against in the run-in.<\/p>\n

\u2018If we were seven or eight games out from the end of the season you\u2019re thinking just give me a team that have got nothing to play for and might have a few injuries as well and booking their holidays on the beach.<\/p>\n

\u2018Man United for me are in that bracket, bar the cup final.<\/p>\n

All these other games in the league are just about personal pride now. Is there enough of that there? <\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s a lot of question marks there at Manchester United that Arsenal players can\u2019t be going into that game thinking \u2018can we?\u2019. They should be thinking we can deal with these and carry on the path to win this league. That\u2019s how Arsenal players should be thinking right now.\u2019<\/p>\n
