Sir Alex Ferguson insists there is no chance he will lose his appetite for success despite leading Manchester United to a record-breaking 19th league title.
United’s latest Premier League triumph lifted Ferguson’s men above Liverpool in the list of all-time English champions and the Scot took great pride in such an historic achievement. However, Ferguson is well aware United will face a stern threat to their supremacy from big-spending Manchester City next season as well as revitalised Liverpool and long-standing rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.
“There’s a responsibility as the manager of Manchester United, it doesn’t go away,” he told Inside United. “I’m not going to take it easy because we won the title. Hopefully we’ll be better next season. The only thing you can do at this club is win - that’s all that matters.
“We have to carry on, there’s nothing else you can do. We have a responsibility and expectation to live up to and that carries on next season."
Ferguson admitted the 19th title was special as it cemented United’s position as English football’s most successful club and provided the perfect answer to critics who dismissed his team throughout the season.
