Manchester United secured their third successive Premier League title at Old Trafford this afternoon bringing their total top flight league wins to 18.
United kicked off against Arsenal at Old Trafford knowing a point would be enough to secure the title and judging by the performance, a point was the best anyone could have hoped for. United were far from their best but the match ended goalless and trophy number three was in the bag.
This league win puts United on parity with Liverpool in the all time titles race at 18 a piece. However, with United having won 11 out of a possible 17 Premier League titles compared to Liverpool’s none, it would seem United are in pole position to emerge as the countries most successful English team of all time.
According to Ferguson, we won’t have to wait long for that. Asked about equalling Liverpool’s record, the Scot replied:
“It’ll make it more special when we are in front of them. Next year we are going for it again.”
United add the Premier League trophy to the League Cup and World Cup they have already won this season and march on for trophy number four; The Champions League.
Manchester United face Barcelona on May 27th knowing a win would make them the first team ever to successfully defend their Champions League crown. United set records as standard; Roll on Rome.
