They'll be a guard of honour on Tuesday to respect Chelsea's achievement
Fergie:
'That's what Chelsea deserve. As a club we've always accepted people as champions because we've been champions many times ourselves.
"As a club, we have always accepted people who were champions, because we have been champions plenty of times ourselves.
"Being champions means that you have earned the right, and that is not easy.
"I am not sure if everyone in the country accepts that, or admires that, but Chelsea have done great - and there is no reason to criticise them.
'I think it's good that Chelsea have won the league. It doesn't do the game any harm. It's 50 years since they won it [they also had a guard of honour at Old Trafford in 1955, when United away was their next fixture after winning the title], but it makes you sit up because they have raised the bar and made us take notice of the situation. We used to say that you couldn't afford more than six defeats to win the league, but three is the maximum number now.'
