Sir Alex Ferguson’s final Premier League title winning squad at Manchester United had goals from Robin van Persie, midfield steel from Michael Carrick and defensive brilliance from Rio Ferdinand.
United romped home to finish 11 points above second-placed Manchester City in 2013, even with just two wins in the final six matches of the season. It secured Ferguson’s 13th league title in an unparalleled 27-year stint at Old Trafford.
Although many of Ferguson’s trusted lieutenants helped the legendary manager sign off with a bang - the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes all enjoyed another title success - there was one player who stood out above all others for the Scot.
