Fergie Basks in a Golden Glow as United Wonder Boys Bring Home the Premiership Silver for the Third Time in Four Years.
Alex Ferguson really is the man with the Midas touch.
Everything the Manchester United Manager lays his fingers on turns to gold. That blessed ability was never better illustrated in the final tell-all seven days of the Premiership that brought Old Trafford's third title in four years at the Riverside.
Fergie's verdict
"I am absolutely delighted. I am proud of my players. They have deserved it. The determination in the club has been great this season and they have played good football. We have won the title simply because since the turn of the year they have made no mistakes.
Sixteen wins out of 17 to get us into a challenging position was quite exceptional and I think it worried Newcastle when we beat them up there.
It has been a great achievement by the players.
It is a significant achievement winning it with the kids and the fact that they are going to be here for years and have now got a championship medal when they are so young. They'll form the nucleus of the side for years ahead. Being available for me all season says a lot for them."
Man of the Match
Ryan Giggs. The Welsh wizard had a hand in all three goals, finishing off with a spectacular strike which deserved to win the title.
