Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was amazed by the turnout of fans for his final title parade.

Over 20,000 Manchester United fans turned out to salute their heroes as the team bus took to the streets to celebrate winning the Premier League title.

Ferguson, who called time on his career in management last week after 27 years at the United helm, said: "I thought that 99 could not be beaten but you've beaten it today. Thank you for the fantastic support. I hope we're here to win this many times again.

"You always think about it (whether you are doing the right thing). But I think it is the right time. I really do. We have a young squad, with a lot of good young players, who are going to get better.

"The big test is to win it three times in a row. I hope the boys can do it."
