Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the minority owner of Manchester United, expressed his preference for Arsenal to clinch the Premier League title this season over Manchester City and Liverpool.
Ratcliffe and INEOS finalized the acquisition of a 27.7% stake in Manchester United in February, thereby taking over all football operations at Old Trafford from the Glazer family.
However, they face a significant challenge in bridging the gap between themselves and the top three teams in the league.
With just one point separating Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City and 10 fixtures remaining, this season has become the tightest title race ever.

During an appearance on the Geraint Thomas Cycling Club podcast, Ratcliffe hesitated to choose a favorite, stating his disdain for all three teams.
He said: “I hate them all! We have got Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, haven’t you? I don’t know. They are all the enemy, I couldn’t possibly choose one.
However, when pressed by Thomas, he admitted that it would be satisfying to see Mikel Arteta guide Arsenal to victory, applauding the Gunners’ patience with their manager over the years.
“It would be good for Arteta, actually. He has done really well there. Arsenal have been patient with him, which is nice as well.”, he added, as per Daily Post
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy previously reported that Manchester City defender Kyle Walker revealed his sentiments about the Premier League title race, expressing his reluctance to see Arsenal clinch the trophy due to his past affiliation with Tottenham Hotspur.
