Celebrating Sir Alex Ferguson's first Premier League title which kickstarted Man Utd glory

Manchester United were the first victors of the newly branded Premier League in 1992/93 - with Sir Alex Ferguson's side claiming glory ahead of second-place Aston Villa.

The Red Devils stormed to the title after picking up 84 points from their 42 matches, losing just six times in the process. They topped the table above Villa, Norwich, Blackburn and Queens Park Rangers, who made up the top-five. Liverpool finished sixth, while Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest were all relegated.

This proved to be Ferguson's first league title in charge of United after taking over in 1986 following a year as the boss of Scotland's national team. It took the Scot a couple of years to put his blueprint on the Red Devils, but once he did, United became a force to be reckoned with across Europe.
