Sir Alex Ferguson’s final title parade saw around 100,000 Manchester United fans turn out to salute their heroes as the team bus took to the streets to celebrate winning the Premier League title.

All eyes were on wantaway striker Wayne Rooney, who looked in good spirits as the bus toured the roads to the adulation of fans. Rio Ferdinand, having sealed Ferguson’s final home win with his first goal since 2008, led the celebrations, leading the fans in chants and tweeting pictures of him and his teammates in the pub in the early afternoon.

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.”
