Red View: Champions 2013! Sir Alex, Ryan Giggs, celebration video + more

SIR ALEX TARGETS POINTS RECORD Sir Alex Ferguson wants to end the campaign with another four wins to set a record points haul in the Barclays Premier League. The champions are at Arsenal on Sunday before tackling Chelsea, Swansea City and West Brom over the final weeks of the season. A maximum return of 12 points would ensure a winning tally of 96, one more than the record set by Chelsea in 2004/05. "Well, there are four different types of challenges," the boss told MUTV. "We've got Arsenal who are chasing a Champions League position and then it's Chelsea, who are in exactly the same position as Arsenal. "Those are challenges in different ways and we want to win the games. Our last home game is against Swansea and you always want to win your last home game. Then we're away to West Brom and they'll be trying to win their last game.  "I've said to the players it's one thing being champions of the Premier League but another thing to set a record. We have an opportunity to set the record and, hopefully, we can do that." Sir Alex is also sticking by his prediction that Borussia Dortmund will win the Champions League as the German side are odds-on to meet fellow Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich in the final at Wembley following the first legs of the semi-finals. "I tipped Dortmund to win the European Cup and I'm not far wrong," he said. "I think they will."

Winning the title is a great feeling, one I'll never get sick of. It's a fantastic achievement for us after the disappointment of last year. The show we put on against Aston Villa on Monday night, especially in the first half, was brilliant, too. We didn't just stumble over the line, we did it in style. It doesn't get any better than that. One of the first questions I was asked on Monday was, 'will you get to 14 titles'? I hope so, that's the plan! I want to keep going and it's nights like Monday that help me do that. You want to taste that success and feel like you do on those nights because it doesn’t get better than that. When I finish, they're the nights I'll miss, but they're also the nights that spur me on now. The disappointment of last season is nothing new to us. We'd like to win the league every year but we can't. We could have won it last year but whether it's losing a game or losing a league like last season, it's how you respond. There were young players in the squad hungry to win it for the first time, while the older players were desperate to win it back. The squad deserves great credit for the style in which we did it. You've got to say Robin van Persie has made a massive impact on the club since he arrived last summer. His goals, the way he plays and the way he carries himself, he's just got a touch of class about him. You saw that on Monday night with the quality of his goals. He's just a brilliant player. His second goal was such a difficult technique to execute. It's one thing to do it in training, but doing it on a big night at Old Trafford shows his class. That said, there have been so many great performances this season. David De Gea, Rafael and Michael Carrick all had brilliant seasons, for example, and our strength in depth won us the title.

Although he is returning to another of his old clubs - PSV Eindhoven - next season, the legendary striker admits he never really had an interest in turning to management during his playing days. Speaking ahead of his participation for both United and Real Madrid in the Red Heart United Legends match on 2 June, van Nistelrooy explained the reasons behind his latest career choice. "I'm going to start my coaching badges in September," he stated. "It's going to be in Holland as I'll start at PSV in September and get my coaching experience with them. "It's part of a course and I'm looking forward to that and will see where it takes me. It lasts for three years so it's quite a big thing for me. I'm going to take my time, not rush it and take it step-by-step. "I always said I'd never do it but now, once I'd retired, I had a year out in Marbella and it was fantastic to come to terms with retirement and what has happened over the past 20 years. I've come to terms with that and also what's next so, in that sense, I've had a great year to see where my interests lie. "It's definitely looking towards passing on my experience over many, many years. I think for me to share it, with the coaching this year and taking the course, is the right thing to do. "I had my time as a professional player and I enjoyed every second of it. I did everything I could to be at my best in all the games that I played in. I prepared myself properly and I look back on it as a successful period. I'm really enjoying my time doing other things with the family now and that makes it great."

Red View: Sir Alex, Jaap Stam, Welbeck, Chicharito video and more

BOSS PREPARED FOR STOKE THREAT Sir Alex Ferguson thinks matches at this stage of the season are always fraught with danger, no matter who the opposition are. Stoke City head into Sunday's fixture at the Britannia Stadium on the back of five defeats in their last six games and are in the relegation dog-fight following the home loss to Aston Villa last time out. Yet Tony Pulis' side have a reputation for upsetting the bigger sides in front of their passionate supporters and it promises to be an awkward afternoon for table-topping Manchester United. "It doesn’t matter if you’re playing a team at the top, the middle or the bottom, you have a job to do," said Sir Alex. "It doesn’t matter when in the season you go to Stoke because you know you have to stand up to the mark, they do present a challenge to you.  "They’re strong physically, their set-piece play is good, their long throw-ins are legendary and you have to deal with these situations. That’s what we’ll face on Sunday. I don’t think you can quieten that crowd, probably one of the noisiest in the league. Stoke have great support and they deserve that because they have progressed really well over the years." The boss thinks Stoke are unlikely to crumble under the added pressure of their situation, despite being jeered off by some fans after the Villa setback. "I think every team will be judging the mood of the place and how they're coping with big-game situations," he explained. "I think we have enough experience to really understand that. For teams that it’s new to, it means it can be a long season of challenges and that relegation situation is tough.  "But that’s why I always think Wigan will get out because they have been there so many times and the experience of that does help. It might be new to other teams and how they cope mentally is a big challenge to them. When you’re at the top, it’s a similar situation but a different type of pressure." More: Sir Alex - We're in good shape | Boss - We need to beat Stoke STAM'S PRIDE AT DUTCH REDS Former United defender Jaap Stam says there is a lot of pride in his homeland for the strong Dutch connection at Old Trafford. Robin van Persie and Alexander Büttner joined the club in the summer and first-team coach Rene Meulensteen continues to have a strong impact on the team. Van Persie's contribution has been obvious following his switch from Arsenal while Büttner is pleased to have had a taste of action in his first season in English football. "Robin has done exceptionally well and is a world-class player who has proved himself in England really well since he left Holland," Stam told ManUtd.com. "So everyone has got a lot of respect for him for what he's done in his career. "I've seen Büttner a couple of times but he hasn't played too much. When I have seen him, he has been aggressive and that's how he is. He was the type of player over here in Holland who liked to attack as a left-sided defender and was aggressive with it. "As we all know, the type of football is completely different to what he was used to in Holland but, of course, I wish him well." Meulensteen, meanwhile, is a key figure behind the scenes who has been with the club since 2001, aside from a short stint coaching Brondby. "When I was at United, Rene phoned me a couple of times to ask how it was over there before he joined the club," revealed Stam, who is taking part in the Legends game against Real Madrid at Old Trafford on 2 June. "I don't know exactly what he's been doing but I would love to see what he's doing now at United because I'm working on my licence as a coach as well. "From what I've heard and read, he is doing very well over there and that's good. Of course all the Dutch people I know are proud that we have got a lot of Dutch people at United. We've had them in the past and they're performing again now." More: Podcast - Away from home | Seven games to go WELBECK ANSWERS FANS' QUESTIONS Danny Welbeck, the subject of a new MUTV documentary being shown this Sunday, answers questions posted by fans on United’s Facebook page… MUTV filmed a documentary on your career so far, called Welbz. Are you looking forward to watching it? Harper Simpson [Laughs] Yes, it was enjoyable to do and great to be able to go back to my old school and take the kids some new kits from the Manchester United Foundation. It was nice to catch up with some familiar faces too. You made your 100th United appearance against Manchester City. What's the stand-out match from your career so far? Oliver Chudders Really? I didn’t know that! I’ll have to say Real Madrid at the Bernabeu – the whole occasion was brilliant to be involved in. It was a massive day for the club and for myself. Ultimately the tie ended in big disappointment, but I was pleased with my performance in the Bernabeu and it was an experience I'll never forget. What's been the most important league result of the season? Pete Giddins That’s a tough one. Every game matters so it’s difficult to pick one, but I’d say beating City away 3-2 [in December]. Winning there was a big result. It’s coming to that time of the season where the votes are cast for Player of the Year – who gets your vote? Chloe Smith This is really difficult because so many of the lads have done well. Obviously Robin [van Persie] has been class and scored plenty of goals. It’s not just been about his goals though – it’s been his team performances as well. Rafael has done really well, but I’ll have to say Michael Carrick. I’ve always been a massive fan of Michael’s – he brings so much to the team and the quality of his passing can really put teams on the back foot. He’s been putting on exhibition shows in some games this season – he’s been top class. The manager regularly picks you for big games - how much confidence do you take from that? Anders Hakegard It's always great to be playing in the big ones, but I want to play in every game! Of course, it gives you confidence, but it's something I just try to take in my stride while focusing on continuing to improve and develop as a player.
