Reds Out To Defend Trophy

United's stars have already set their sights on winning a 20th league title.

The Reds may have celebrated the record-breaking Premier League triumph but are now focusing on retaining the trophy next year. With clubs strengthening over the summer, it promises to be a real battle to come out on top again but Sir Alex Ferguson's side are ready to meet the challenge head on.

"When we've got the trophy, we don't want to let it go," stressed Michael Carrick. "We'll enjoy the summer but we're very, very determined to keep hold of it this time."

History-maker Ryan Giggs seems like he will never be satisfied with his incredible winners' medal haul. "It's not about 19 but pushing on and trying to get to the twenties," he stated. "That's what this club is about - not standing still but moving forward and hopefully having a successful season next year."

John O'Shea can barely wait for the 2011/2012 campaign to get underway.

"We've been getting to finals and been successful and the key is looking at the examples we've got in Giggsy and the manager wanting to improve all the time," said the Irishman. "Hopefully, they'll keep going.

"It [the break] will go very quickly as it has always done and I can't wait to get back and defend our title."
