Sir Alex Ferguson has set his sights on the second half of a glorious double after Manchester United retained their Barclays Premier League title.

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs secured a 2-0 victory at Wigan and Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Bolton ensured United won the title by two points and Ferguson immediately turned his attention to the Champions League final in Moscow in May 21.

"It would have been hard for us going to Moscow if we had lost out in the league," said the United boss. "While we know it will not be easy, we are relaxed now. There is a good feel about the team."

He added: "It is an exciting team and I enjoy watching them. They don't play with fear and that refreshes you."

Ronaldo took his tally for the season to an astonishing 41 goals after making the breakthrough in the 33rd minute.

He sent goalkeeper Chris Kirkland the wrong way from the penalty spot after Emerson Boyce was pulled up for a challenge on Wayne Rooney.

Then substitute Giggs marked a record-equalling 758th appearance for the club by scoring a crucial second 10 minutes from time with a cool finish.

Ferguson praised both players for their impact, in the short- and long-term at the club.

He said: "Ronaldo has been out of this world. To get 41 goals as a winger is sensational. It is also fantastic for Ryan to get the goal that matters. Maybe it is fate. He deserves it. I have known him for 20 years and he has been a credit to the game.

"For him to to equal the record, then to get the goal that wins the title, is just fantastic."
