Arsenal boss Arteta dismisses Man Utd claims from Ferdinand

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has rejected claims he'd be interested in the Manchester United job.

Rio Ferdinand made the suggestion last week.

But Arteta said: "We are exposed to the media and experts, and they have their opinions. It's part of the job. But we tend to focus on opinions that are not so positive,.

"Instead, we should focus on when they (experts) say good things, come up with good insights and have good points. Some things are said in a good way by someone who has experience of having played.

"If we were to focus on that, it would have been much better. Because sometimes we tend to focus too much on negative opinions."
