Rio Ferdinand would be desperate to turn out for Manchester Citys Pep Guardiola if he was still a professional footballer, while hed rather play for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp than Jose Mourinho.

The Manchester United legend was criticised by Mourinho after Uniteds last-gasp win over Young Boys Bern on Tuesday night but returned to the studio to twist the knife in further by praising the Portugueses coaching rivals ahead of him.

BT Sport host Gary Lineker asked who he would rather play for out of Klopp, Guardiola and Mourinho, and Ferdinand, without hesitation, replied: Pep.

For the style of football Id rather play for Pep or Klopp because its exciting, on the front foot, attacking football that allows people to express themselves.

Michael Owen laughed and added: Its a toss up between the first two [Guardiola and Klopp], isnt it?
