A penalty from Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and a late goal to veteran Ryan Giggs was enough to give the Red Devils the three points needed to win the English Premier League.
Manchester United ended the season on 87 points, two clear of second-placed Chelsea, who drew 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal finished third followed by Liverpool and Everton after all three won on the final day.
