Ferguson's men are three points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand and Redknapp cannot see them slipping up."United have it more or less sewn up now," said Redknapp. "I would be surprised if they lost the title from here.However, John O'Shea is fit after injuring his ankle in midweek and could be part of a United squad to face Spurs that also includes Wes Brown, who has come through two reserve outings this week without a reaction.Ryan Giggs will make his 800th appearance if he gets on the field.
Ferguson is crossing his fingers Giggs gets the PFA player of the year award to go along with his landmark appearance.The veteran Welshman has never won the prestigious individual prize despite being on the verge of his 11th Premier League title.Ferguson feels it would be a fitting tribute to the 36-year-old, whose next appearance in a United shirt - either against Tottenham or Arsenal in next Wednesday's Champions League semi-final - will be number 800 in an incredible Red Devils career.Having come up with similar superlatives for Paul Scholes ahead of his 600th appearance in the win over Portsmouth, Ferguson faced the same set of questions again over his longest-serving player.Instead of repeating himself, the Scot opted to recall an emotional ceremony in Moscow after United had won the European Cup last May.
