Trophy Lift

Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United team got their hands on the Barclays Premier League trophy at an emotionally charged Old Trafford on Sunday and you can watch the video of the presentation here on ManUtd.com.
The Reds, of course, clinched the title last month but the players finally got their hands on the silverware following what was Sir Alex's final home match, four days after he announced his intention to retire at the end of the season.
United's 20th league title, and 13th Premier League crown, will forever be remembered as Sir Alex's last, and our video of the presentation captures all the emotion of the occasion.

Farewell Sir Alex Ferguson

Robin: It's been an honour

Robin van Persie admitted it has been an honour to have played alongside Paul Scholes and worked under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The pair said farewell to Old Trafford on the day that the midfielder and manager picked up medals for the club’s 20th league title – in doing so picking up their 11th and 13th titles respectively.
Having picked up his very first league winner's medal, van Persie paid tribute to the departing duo, saying of Scholes: “He's unbelievable. Scholesy and Giggsy as well.
“It's like when I first came to England and I saw things which I'd never seen before from players like Bergkamp, Henry and Pires, and now since I came here I had that feeling again.
“Since day one I've seen him, the things Scholesy does are just unbelievable, things that I've never seen in my life. It was an honour to play with him.”
After Sir Alex’s 1,499th game in charge of the club ended in victory, van Persie admitted he will cherish his fleeting stint under one of history's greats.
“He's a great manager, maybe the best ever,” said the Dutchman. “Although I've only been working under him for one year, it feels a lot more.
“The impact he's made on me, and the impact he made on this club for 26 and a half years, is incredible. It's an honour for me to be able to say when I'm older that I've been working with him. It's one year but it feels more and it's just a big honour for me to work with him.”
While neither Scholes nor Sir Alex will feature in the Reds’ bid to retain the title and emboss it with further silverware next term, Robin is eagerly anticipating the assault on 2013/14 under new manager David Moyes.
“That's what this club is about; we always bounce back,” he said. “Even this year we came from behind many times and I think only three occasions we didn’t come back, so this club is about comebacks.
“This club will always be here and this club will always fight for trophies.”
Robin was speaking to Sky Sports.

Giggs' tribute to the boss

Ryan Giggs has paid a personal tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson during an exclusive interview with MUTV.

The veteran midfielder came off the bench in the victory against Swansea in the manager's final home game in charge and was clearly emotional afterwards, even if he is already looking forward to playing under only his second domestic boss in David Moyes next term.

"Obviously it's been an emotional day," said Giggs. "He's been such a massive part of my life. I met him when I was 13 to what I am now, 39, so it's a long time. Yes, it's an emotional day.

"Not only for my career [has he been such an influence] but for my life. He has been a massive part of my life. He's seen me from a boy to a man and seen me grow. I've seen him mature over the years from the manager I knew when I was younger. He has done everything for me both on and off the pitch."

It was vital for Giggs that United conjured up a late winner to pick up victory and provide a fitting tribute for Sir Alex.

"He said in his pre-match talk that he wanted to make sure we didn't play the occasion but played the game," added the Welshman. "And made sure we did what we've been doing all season, which is winning games.

"I mean it probably summed up the time that he's managed as we've had so many important late goals. He probably didn't expect Rio [Ferdinand] to come up with what was a great finish but it was a fitting end to what was a brilliant career at Old Trafford."

The prospect of working under Moyes thrills Giggs, who recently signed another one-year contract extension to prolong his remarkable career with the Reds.

"Obviously, it's exciting times," he stated. "Next season will be exciting times. David Moyes has obviously been brilliant over the last 10 years for Everton and hopefully he'll carry on that good work here at United."
