A smiling Sir Alex Ferguson bowed to fans after United's 2-1 win over Chelsea.

The victory moves the club one step closer to winning a 19th league title.

The title would make Manchester United the most successful club ever in English domestic football.

So United have one hand on 眼看就要得到勝利 the Premier League crown after crushing 擊敗 Chelsea's late bid to snatch the trophy from their grasp.

"To be the most successful team is fantastic," said Ferguson, who insisted they will get the point they need to top the league.

Veteran winger Ryan Giggs added: "It is a great achievement by the team and manager to overhaul our nearest rivals during the 70s and 80s."

Giggs, like Ferguson, will collect a 12th Premier League title if United get at least a draw from either of their remaining two league fixtures.

Ferguson - who took over from Ron Atkinson in 1986 - feels United are certain to clinch 盯緊 this season's Premier League title against either Blackburn on Saturday or at home to Blackpool on the final day. They beat reigning champions Chelsea on Sunday thanks to goals from Javier Hernandez and Nemanja Vidic.

"Knowing the players, they won't muck it up 搞砸，" said Ferguson.

"They will get a point, there's no doubt about that. The minute we won that first title in 1993 the door opened 大門向我們敞開，我們贏了，and we've been involved in the first two all throughout that period. It's a fantastic achievement."

And while Ferguson believes the title is almost in the bag, midfielder Giggs says there is no room for complacency 自滿，自鳴得意 in their final two league fixtures against Blackburn and Blackpool.

"Both of those teams are fighting for their lives. We have to go to Ewood Park next week to try to finish it off as early as possible," said the 37-year-old.

Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan said the club are in the perfect position to finish the season off in style 給本賽季畫上圓滿的句號。

"You set targets all the time and it gives the manager the opportunity to get the 19th title now," he told BBC Sport.
