Ferguson admitted he was "in agony" watching the end of Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Sunday which confirmed United as Premiership champions for the ninth time.

The United boss told MUTV: "For Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and the lads who have not won a championship medal before, it is fantastic. Hopefully it moves them on."

The Scot also hopes to continue at the helm for some time yet, admitting his aborted retirement several years ago was a mistake.

"It's easy to retire. It was a quick decision. I did it years ago and regretted it within days. I feel invigorated by the young players at the club and players like Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes turning out every week for me. It gives me the right vibes. I don't know how long I'll last now but I'm enjoying it."

Ferguson, meanwhile, has identified three summer transfer targets to bolster his title-winning squad.

Already the Scot's mind has drifted towards next season, when he expects Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal to provide a stiff challenge to the Red Devils newly-reclaimed domestic supremacy.

And he has told chief executive David Gill the trio of new faces he believes will give United their best chance of finishing top of the pile again next term.

"We have outlined three targets and David Gill is aware of them," said Ferguson. "As everyone knows, there is competition for the best players and when there is competition, it costs, so we will just have to wait and see."
