Eric Cantona was asked who he would like to see win the Premier League title out of Manchester City or Liverpool.
Speaking to Paddy Power, the Manchester United legend made his feelings clear with an interesting response.
"Nobody," he said, before adding: "It's like asking me if I'd prefer to have my teeth made of wood or my legs of sponge."
Well, that is one way to respond to a question like that.
Pep Guardiola's men are top of the Premier League, though Liverpool have a match in hand.
Cantona, who is one of the figures reportedly being considered for United's director of football, believes that the old Red Devils are back thanks to the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
"He has got the soul of the club, and you feel that he has been inspired by [Sir] Alex Ferguson," he explained.

"It's like Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola in Barcelona -- Ole Gunnar is the spiritual son of Alex Ferguson.
"Not all players can become managers, but some of them can, and for me it's important that at a club like Manchester United you have somebody who has the soul of the club, who understands the club from inside."
The 52-year-old former United ace also spoke highly of the caretaker manager when it came to Paul Pogba, especially about the midfielder's improvement on the pitch and the fact that he hasn't changed his hair in awhile.
United are fourth in the Premier League and will host Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Meanwhile, City will face Chelsea in the EFL Cup final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
