And the 40-year-old, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford with six English topflight titles admit he prefers their city rivals to lift this campaign.

United are presently fifth on the log at the moment with 58 points, just two points behind Arsenal with less than ten matches to wrap up this term.

"This is the worst possible case scenario for someone that likes Man United, supports Man United and has played for Man United, and I'm a pundit that's got to speak about it publicly and squirm and what not," Ferdinand told The Daily Mirror.

"So the better of the two evils is Manchester City winning the league as I've seen it, I've been part of it"

Ferdinand also admitted that Liverpool winning the would be 'a lot more painful', claiming even more fans would pop up simply to gloat about winning the title.

He added: 'With Liverpool it's a different story.

'There's fans I didn't even know supported Liverpool that have come back out of the woodwork after 20 years of being silent that are starting to speak before they've won anything so it'd be a lot more painful to see them win the league.

"But listen the best team will win it and whoever that is well done."

The Bianconeri needed to overturn the two-goal deficit in the first leg suffered at the hands of Diego Simeone's side at Wanda Metropolitano.

And Juve's talisman Ronaldo responded with three unreplied goals in emphatic fashion making it eight hat-tricks in his Champions League 126-goal tally.
