The title can be won by manchester United on Monday night but Sir Alex Ferguson cares little about where and when, with the boss recalling how past titles have now been claimed when he was in the fitness center, watching snooker and golfing. United's lead over Manchester City has become 13 factors after Roberto Mancini's area dropped at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. With five activities outstanding, if Aston Villa is beaten by United they will win the name. Victory at Arsenal on Sunday might still secure the title and a 13th triumph for Ferguson, If they drop. Yet no frustration would be felt by the manager if United were passed the subject when not on the pitch. "Not for me. I am happy for it to occur that way. It's happened several times," he explained. "When Oldham beat Villa at Villa Park [in 1993] I was on the golf course and when Liverpool and Newcastle [each] received in London on exactly the same evening [1997], I was in the gym at Mottram Hall. There was another situation, when Coventry beat Blackburn in a night game [1994], I was watching the snooker a' the Entire World Championship final was on. Then there was a Leeds sport when Peter Reid was in control [at Arsenal, in 2003] when [Mark] Viduka scored a couple of and they beat them." Once the title is ultimately won, Ferguson is doubtful where it'll rank individually. "No more proud than I was with the prior 12. It is no easy group to win. The initial one was the one that basically opened the door for us, though," he said. Despite United's canter to the name, some authorities feel this is simply not a classic Ferguson team. How can he rate it? "If we win the group, the group needs to be considered when it comes to other teams," he said, before indicating that, if the last five games are won, to beat Chelsea's record total of 95 points by one this would increase the side's stature. "It is not beyond the team at all. Well just how many times have we done that, if you are wondering if Manchester United can win five games in a row? So it's not beyond us. What may possibly develop more knowing of the medial side we have this year is exactly how many factors we get. The league was won by us in 1993 with something such as 84 items. We've also acquired leagues with 91 points and been second with 91 points, to Chelsea. That's to be viewed with regards to judgment against other teams, but it doesn't bother me, really. "But the way we approach it is very good and the reaction on Wednesday [to draw 2-2 with West Ham, when twice behind] was wonderful, at a floor that is an arduous place to go to and with the way they play and put you under some pressure with set pieces. I believe we're pleased with the players appearing out of that and there will not be any slacking off by the players. There's a resilience, the reliability has been good and like all of the previous teams, they never give in and that is an undeniable fact. The history of the team, more than such a thing, is what the players who have been here for just two or 36 months buy into and do well. I do believe that these are the attributes that have assisted where they're right now." them to be Concerning the chance of Rio Ferdinand signing a brand new contract as his current offer stops this summertime, Ferguson said: "I have talked to him and certainly at this moment in time, he's more concerned with finding an opponent for his testimonial sport. He's focusing on that, but we would like him to stay and obviously I am sure his representatives is going to be discussing things with David [Gill, the principle executive]. I would that is amazing [staying] would function as most readily useful thing or him."
