Sir Alex Ferguson Claims Tottenham Will Never Win the Premier League

• Ferguson is widely regarded as one of the most successful managers in the world
• The former Man United boss won more than 40 titles during his managerial career
• His most successful stint came at Old Trafford, where he won a record 13 EPL titles

Legendary Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has named the club he thinks will never win the Premier League title.

Fergie retired in 2013 after an illustrious managerial career at Old Trafford that saw him win the domestic crown a record 13 times.

Given his dominance and experience in the English topflight, Ferguson is undoubtedly better placed to deduce the dynamics of the division.

Over the weekend, the Scottish boss made a sensational claim regarding Tottenham Hotspur's chances of winning the EPL title.

Why Tottenham will never win the EPL

Per the former Manchester United boss, the Premier League has evolved so much that it will be difficult for Tottenham to win the title.

Speaking while in attendance at Newbury Racecourse this weekend, Ferguson gave a straight no when asked if Spurs stood any chance.

"No, ’61 was the last time they won it, well that’s a long time. The opposition today with Liverpool and Manchester City being so powerful in the Premier League," he was quoted saying in a video shared by @AtTheRaces.

"Even for United now, we’re having to fight," he added.

Metro UK reports that Fergie's claim comes at a time when Spurs are fighting to challenge for the EPL title under Ange Postecoglu.
