United matched Liverpool's 18 top-flight titles by
picking up the point they needed against Arsenal to see off the
Kop's challenge.
But Ferguson, winning his 11th Premier League, insisted
passing Liverpool by making it 19 next year would be even
sweeter.
He said: “I am already thinking about next year. You
have to do it here. There is nothing else for it, you just drive
on.
"It would be more special if we were to get in front of
Liverpool.
"And that is the great challenge now - to try to win it
next year because that would be something special.
"It would be a 19th league title and give us a special
place in the club’s history.
"That was the target - to get past Liverpool. They were
the greatest team in the land. But I never imagined we would get 11
titles, never in a million years.
"Liverpool's players have done really well. It was a
great challenge from them.
“But we have a great side, a great squad. I could have
picked two teams today. It’s not easy.”
Fergie, 67, also revealed he has no plans to
retire.
He said: “I’m not contemplating it, I’ll carry on. I’m
going to stay as a manager and my health will tell me when to
quit.”
