Fergie: This Is A Special Team
Sir Alex Ferguson hailed his Premiership champions as they collected their ninth Premiership title - then challenged them to retain the trophy next season. "The players have deserved this triumph," said the United boss. "This is a special team and a special club. My experience of winning our first Premiership title in 1993 was that it opened so many doors for us. And my belief is these players, having had a taste of what has happened this season, will also come on like that team did. This side has shown they've got the nerve, now they have to push on from here. I'm looking forward to seeing this young team develop over the next few years. If it stays together, as I believe it will, it can go on to achieve great things."

Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock saw his side relegated after a 2-1 defeat against Wigan and criticised Sir Alex for fielding a weakened team. Warnock said, "I was disappointed with Sir Alex. I thought he might have played Ronaldo and one or two more — but he sold me a dummy during the week.
The United boss defended his team selection, insisting: "We did our best and I don't think anyone can criticise us. I feel for Neil Warnock and Sheffield United, but when he sees how many chances we had - 25 - he'll see how unlucky we were not to win."
In transfer news, the Mirror claims United are on the trail of Dutch hot-shot Klaas Jan Huntelaar. Sir Alex has sent his brother Martin to watch tall 23-year-old targetman Huntelaar in Ajax's last two games. He would cost the champions around £12million.
