Talking about winning the title Kenyon said last night: "Why I am particularly pleased is that it vindicates the decision of Sir Alex Ferguson not to retire. It proves that the hunger is still there and that he is still the best manager. It is his 27th trophy and he has now won eight titles in 11 years. He will go down as one of the all-time greats and everybody at Manchester United is delighted for him and the players."

"We have always been at our best when our backs are against the wall. It has been a difficult season because we have never been out in front."
