Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has slammed Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta after he met up with Turkish chef, Salt Bae during the Gunners’ training camp in Dubai this month.
Arteta took Arsenal players on a warm-weather break during the Premier League’s winter hiatus.
The Spaniard took the opportunity to dine at the Nusr-Et Steakhouse in Abu Dhabi.
The former Manchester City assistant coach allowed Salt Bae to dangle a piece of meat in his mouth.
However, Ferdinand, who even had Salt Bae at his own wedding, insisted that Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola or a Manchester United manager, would not do what Arteta did, describing his action as ‘stupidness.’
“He [Salt Bae] was feeding some of the guests at my wedding like that,” Ferdinand revealed on Vibe With Five.
“If I’m paying for that he ain’t feeding me nothing, not having it, but he was going around some of the guests doing that.
“A Man United manager ain’t doing that, only an Arsenal manager would do that type of stupidness.
“Pep [Guardiola] ain’t doing that.”
