Number 19 Is Special Says Fergie

Last updated : 23 May 2011 By Utd Mad Ed

United picked up the trophy that they sealed at Blackburn the week before and now prepare to try and pick up a Champions League trophy to add to title 19.

"It's special," the manager told MUTV.

"This is a particularly special one because it means we've won the title more than anyone in the country.

"It's history and great for the tradition of this club so I'm really pleased about that."

United finished nine points clear at the top of the table and Fergie didn’t mind admitting that a few weeks ago, it didn’t seem like it was going to be so easy.

The Reds boss added: "The players have been great, there's a great work ethic in the team. I think they deserved it because there were a lot of great performances. I'm dismissing all that nonsense that it's not a great Manchester United team. It's a great feat winning this league.

"I think our target was to do our best. Yes, we've had some disappointing games away from home but the home form has been fantastic. Another four goals today, seven against Blackburn, five against Birmingham and we've beaten Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham all here. They're top teams so it's pretty good that."
