History makers: Ferguson wants title against Villa and then plans to chase record points total

Manchester United will be made to wait until their home game with Swansea on May 12 for the Barclays Premier League trophy lift - even if they win it tonight.

United have been advised that the trophy will be sent to Manchester and will be paraded at the Theatre of Dreams next month,

Nonetheless Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged his Manchester United players to clinch the Premier League title on Monday and then write their names into history by finishing the season with a record points total.

Manchester City’s defeat at  Tottenham yesterday means United will pick up their 20th title — and 13th under Ferguson — with a win at home to Aston Villa.

The champions-elect have been criticised for not matching up to Ferguson’s great teams of the past, while others claim that it has not been a particularly strong Premier League this season.
