Manchester United clinches title

Manchester United tied Arsenal, 0-0, Saturday to capture a third straight English Premier League title and match Liverpool’s mark of 18 league championships.

In a poorly played game between two of England’s glamour clubs, United won its 11th league title in 17 seasons. All came under Manager Alex Ferguson, who has 25 major trophies in his 23 years at Old Trafford.

“It makes you want to go on forever,” said the 67-year-old Ferguson, who already has put off retirement once.

Amid the celebrations, Argentine striker Carlos Tevez appeared to wave farewell to the fans in his last home game with his loan deal two weeks from ending.
