Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford for the last time with all three points as Rio Ferdinand's late goal earned Manchester United an emotional 2-1 victory over Swansea.
Speaking after the game, Michael Laudrup was already looking forward to next season. "Next season I want to try to consolidate Swansea," he told Sky Sports. "There is a lot of challenge there, we're playing in Europe and we would like to have that experience as a club, as a team and I would like to be a part of that." The challenges of next season are not Ferguson's concern anymore but he had one last revelation in his post-match interview, telling Geoff Shreeves that Wayne Rooney had handed in a transfer request. "I don't think Wayne was keen to play, simply because he's asked for a transfer," the Scot told Sky Sports. "I think he wants to think things through in his own mind. I think that's a good idea. We're not going to let him go."
