http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk -- Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged his Manchester United players to create a double slice of history - with a fourth straight title and a record 19th in all.

United are locked with Liverpool on 18 titles and a fourth successive Premier League triumph this season would see them overhaul their arch rivals to post a record total.

No English team has ever won four championships on the bounce and Fergie admitted the chance to be the first was driving him and his players on to title glory.

"The record we're chasing is four titles in a row," said Fergie. "That would be fantastic. And if we get the 19th it would be the most in the history of the league.
