Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has his eyes on a personal New Year's Double.

He is aiming for a 70th birthday to remember with Manchester United on top of the Prem.

Ferguson's men drew level with leaders Manchester City yesterday after they trounced Wigan.

United host Blackburn on Fergie's birthday - New Year's Eve - while City play 24 hours later. He said: "It's a long season. If we're top of the league or joint top with City on New Year's Day I'll be happy."
