It was expected to be tense and cagey, but it took Manchester United just 36 seconds to move to within touching distance of a record-breaking 19th league title in an eventual 2-1 victory over Chelsea.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe current United squad is not recognised as a classic Sir Alex Ferguson collection, however, it is now only one point away from being the group who eclipse the 18 top-flight titles of bitter foes Liverpool.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While some vintage United traits may be lacking, the characteristics of committed and brave football which have been institutionalised at Old Trafford during Ferguson\u2019s almost quarter-of-a-Century-in charge have always been present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And no more so than against closest title rivals Chelsea, in one of the most important games of the 2010\/11 season, in what was a blistering opening at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, was there evidence of United\u2019s courage in conviction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With just more than half-a-minute on the clock, Javier Hernandez pounced on a David Luiz mistake, before, in the 23rd minute, captain Nemanja Vidic showed more desire than Branislav Ivanovic to score United\u2019s second.<\/p>\n
After several weeks of anticipation, a brooding Carlo Ancelotti, who only used \u00a350million Fernando Torres as a substitute after the hour mark, could not hide his fury that his players had thrown away the resurgence of a 10-game unbeaten run in the league.<\/p>\n
An instinctive Frank Lampard goal raised some hope, but the wobbly Luiz and ineffective John Obi Mikel had both been substituted at half-time and Ancelotti can now only hope for huge favours from United\u2019s remaining opponents, Blackburn and Blackpool.<\/p>\n
Ferguson, in contrast, can put the champagne on ice as he prepares to fulfil his pledge to \u2018knock Liverpool off their perch\u2019, while, having also wrecked Chelsea\u2019s European dreams, he looks forward to a Wembley UEFA Champions League final and what would be a remarkable Double.<\/p>\n
