A Great Team Performance - Fergie

Last updated : 21 December 2008 By Sam
United, who had to play most of the second half after with ten men after Nemanja Vidic's sending off on 49 minute's, sealed the title with a 1-0 win against Liga de Quito in Japan on Sunday courtesy of a late goal from Wayne Rooney, who was afterwards named as player of the tournament.

"After the sending off, we had to be very patient and play with even more discipline to avoid conceding a goal," Fergie said after the match.

"We still went looking for the victory though, and thankfully we got that decisive goal.

"Even if we missed a lot of chances in the first half, I'm very pleased with our performance - it was a great team performance.

"Winning this title will hopefully give us some extra impetus for the rest of the season.

"In 30 years you'll look back and see Manchester United's name on the trophy - although I won't be around to enjoy it."
