Starlets can become legends
Edwin van der Sar claims United's title-winning starlets have the ability to achieve legendary status at Old Trafford providing they push on from here.
The Dutch stopper is full of praise for his team-mates after beating Chelsea over the finishing line to seal United's ninth Premiership title under Sir Alex Ferguson.
But he is urging them to kick on and build on this season's achievements in the coming years.
"You do not become a legend overnight - you have to win things over a long period," insists van der Sar. "The players have shown their ability this season. Every game has been important for us and weÂ’ve shown we have been up for every one.
"Every player selected for Saturday or Tuesday or Wednesday has had to perform and we have not had to carry any one.
"Chelsea were so well ahead in the previous seasons. But this season, we have been playing well enough to cope with anything that has been put in our way.
"The squad is well positioned to achieve something special," adds the 36-year-old. "It takes a long time to work towards something like this but now the team must go on.
"It is not just about winning something once but two or three times and that is the challenge."
