We deserved to win back title - Man Utd's Vidic

Nemanja Vidic believes Manchester United thoroughly deserved their Premier League triumph this season.

The Red Devils bounced back to the winners dais after losing the title to neighbours Manchester City on the final day of the 2011/12 campaign with Vidic revelling in the way he and his teammates went about their business under retiring manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I'm definitely proud to play for this club with these players and to play for the manager as well," Vidic told MUTV.

"I've had a great seven years with the club where we've had so much success and we did so again this year so I'm very pleased.

"I think we've had 20 players who have scored goals this season which is amazing. It shows how good the spirit is within the team and how hard we pushed to win this title. Obviously, with all the good work on the training ground, we've managed that.

"You saw the players at the parade jumping and singing the songs and we had a good time sharing the title with the fans - they deserve it as they support us all year. It's been a great comeback after last year and we deserved to win this title."
