Manchester United FC - Stretford End: April 2013

Man Utd Champions 2013

Alex Ferguson says he will select a strong Manchester United side against Arsenal on Sunday out of respect for the other sides chasing Champions League places.

He also praises Arsene Wenger for planning to uphold the tradition of forming a guard of honour to welcome the champions onto the pitch.

United have clinched the title with four games to spare but have other goals in mind, including beating Chelsea's 2004/05 record points total of 95.

Ferguson believes Robin van Persie will not be intimidated if he gets a hostile reception when he makes his first return to Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger insists he has no regrets about selling Robin van Persie to Manchester United, yeah right!!

Champions of England - 20 times

Robin van Persie Wonder Goal

Robin van Persie has admitted his wonder volley at Old Trafford on Monday night was his best goal for Manchester United.

Alex Ferguson believes the sublime effort, as Van Persie manoeuvred himself on to the end of a 50-yard pass from Wayne Rooney before rocketing a first time shot past Brad Guzan deserves to get the goal-of-the-season prize.

Manchester United Celebrate their 20th Champions Title

Manchester United won the Premier League title in style on Monday night with a hat-trick from star striker Robin van Persie sealing a 3-0 win and a 20th championship.

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra celebrates the title triumph by biting a fake arm to mock Luis Suarez. Haha!!

It is Manchester United's 13th title in 21 Premier League seasons under Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I feel 10 years younger after that," said Alex Ferguson after the game.

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick celebrate in style.

20th Premier League title and the cup is back home once again

Glory glory Man united, Glory glory Man united, Glory glory Man united, As the reds go marching on on on!

Just like the Busby Babes in days gone by, We'll keep the red flags flying high, Your gonna see us all from far and wide, Your gonna hear the masses sing with pride.

United, Man united, We're the boys in red and we're on our way to Wembley!

Manchester United sit 13 points clear at the top of the table, bookmakers have paid out on them regaining their crown and victory tonight against Aston Villa will see them officially take the title - but Alex Ferguson has something more to play for tonight, and for the rest of the season.

With five games of the season left, United have 81 points and need 15 more to break the record of 95 which was set by Chelsea in 2004/05. A strong finish to the season will also see them pass their own Premier League era record of 92.

"If we get to 96 points I'd be absolutely delighted," said the Manchester United manager. "That would be a fantastic season."

Come on UNITED!!!
