The Glazer family have expressed their delight at Manchester United's first Premiership title since they bought the club in 2005.
United were crowned Premiership champions for the ninth time on Sunday after Chelsea failed to beat Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Following the game, Red Devils chief executive David Gill (pictured) received a call from Joel Glazer who echoed everyone at the club's feelings.
"Joel rang me after the Arsenal/Chelsea game had finished and was understandably delighted for everyone at the club," Gill told the club's official website.
"It's a fantastic achievement for everyone associated with United - it's the trophy we all wanted.
"It was very important that we won it this year having not done so since 2003 and then watched Chelsea walk away with it for the last two years.
"It sends out a big message that Manchester United is very much at the forefront of football both in this country and Europe."
Gill insists he felt Arsenal would get something from the game with Chelsea, but admits watching was extremely hard.
"I was very confident at half-time and after the break when Arsenal looked to be controlling the game," he added.
"But Chelsea scored a good goal and from then on the tension was unbelievable - I was pacing round the room shouting at the television!
"But thankfully it all came good in the end."

Arsene Wenger stated his belief that Manchester United are worthy winners of the Premiership, following his side's draw against Chelsea which secured the title for Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
Chelsea's inability to match United's victory in the Manchester derby on Saturday culminated in Ferguson claiming his ninth Premiership title.
Wenger conceded that he was not hopeful of receiving a bottle of wine from Ferguson but nevertheless, was gracious in praise of his old rival.
"The table doesn't lie," he said.
"Manchester United have scored more goals than anyone else and you can only say they deserve the title.
"No, I don't expect to receive a bottle of wine from Sir Alex Ferguson but congratulations to him anyway.
"They have been the most consistent side and they also have individual players who can make a difference.
"Chelsea and Manchester United were both strong sides but there were a few turning points when United didn't show any weakness and they had an offensive ability the others did not have."
While the champagne is being uncorked over in Manchester, in the capital, Wenger was left to reflect on the fact his side are currently 20 points behind the newly crowned champions.
The French tactician admits that while his charges show an abundance of promise, there is still much work to be done before they are ready for a title challenge of their own.
"It is a big frustration," he said.
"What I have to get right in the summer is to evаluate what we need but there are signs that when everybody is fit we have a good chance.
"You could sometimes say we over-complicated things in our finishing this season and we have to consider that we are 20 points behind Manchester United."
