Departing Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged the playing squad to win three Premier League titles in succession.

In what will be his final season in charge of the club, Ferguson has led the Red Devils to the 20th title in their history.

David Moyes will take over in the summer and under the guidance of his fellow Scot, Ferguson has urged the players to claim the trophy during the next two campaigns.

"This is fantastic, I'm more pleased for you than anything else. To go through a 38 week programme of Premier division and win it in style with a great bunch of players was great," he told fans at this evening's victory parade in Manchester.

"It is a young squad with a lot of good young players and they will get better. The big test will be to win it three times in a row."

Ferguson will leave the role having guided the club to 13 of their 20 titles.
