The former Manchester United defender was not prepared to accept the possibility that Pep Guardiola's side could rise to new levels of success
In an episode of 'hot takes' on the TNT Sport social channel, the former Manchester United defender was asked to assess some predictions on the new Premier League season. Among those was a perhaps optimistic City fan who predicted his team would win the treble not two but three years in a row.
In his response, Ferdinand dismissed the suggestion out of hand, insisting he will disappear from broadcasting if that happens. He does, however, believe Pep Guardiola's side will comfortably win the Premier League title. "No, chance, absolutely no chance," Ferdinand told TNT Sport of the prospect of a Treble Treble. "I will quit my job, go into hiding and you'll never see me again if that happens.""No, no," he said in a later clip, when one fan suggested City are in transition and won't be champions. "They have lost Gundogan but they brought in Kovacic.
"They're not bringing in donkeys, they're bringing in people that are ready. Mahrez has gone, an experienced player, but they have young Cole Palmer coming through, just won the Euros.City opened their Premier League season with a 3-0 win at Burnley last Friday night while they added the Super Cup to their expanding trophy collection when beating Sevilla on penalties in midweek following a 1-1 draw.
