No surprises that Ferguson was centre of attention at the presentation
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and veteran midfielder Paul Scholes were both given the perfect send-off from Old Trafford thanks to Rio Ferdinand?s late winner against Swansea.
Michu had cancelled out Javier Hernandez?s first-half strike, and the game, almost incidental to the day?s double farewell celebrations, appeared to be heading towards a 1-1 draw before Ferdinand popped up to score his first goal in five years in the 87th minute, as the club could celebrate being presented with the Premier League trophy on a high.
The fact that Manchester United scored a late winner seemed quite fitting in Ferguson?s last appearance in the Old Trafford dugout in a Red Devils career that has spanned nearly 27 years.
The result came after Ferguson was given a guard of honour by both sides before kick-off in an emotionally-charged final appearance for the Scot.
