It was nervous, tense, nail-biting stuff at times, but Manchester United are league champions for the 17th time, after beating Wigan at the JJB Stadium.

Ferguson’s side won 2-0 at Wigan on Sunday to hold off Chelsea’s late charge and give the United manager yet another champagne-soaked end to the domestic campaign.

Goals in each half from Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs ensured there was no last-day slip for United and Ferguson admitted he couldn’t even think about walking away from the talented young side he has moulded so impressively.

Asked if he would carry on, Ferguson said: “Absolutely. How can you do without this? It’s fantastic. I’m very proud but I have a great club. It’s much easier for me than anyone else.

“They are developing all the time. They are a good young team who will get better in their own time.

“If they win the European Cup that is the best team I’ve had.” There could be an even more fulfilling day around the corner for Ferguson as United prepare to head to Moscow for their Champions League final showdown against Chelsea on May 24.
