Ryan Giggs became only the eleventh player in United's history to score 100 league goals when he struck the Reds' first-half opener against Derby County.
The Welshman's neat finish five minutes before half time allowed him to join an elite band of Reds legends who have reached a century of strikes.
"Obviously I'm really pleased to have scored 100 league goals," said Ryan.
"It's a great achievement and I'm pleased that I eventually got there."
Sir Alex Ferguson saluted Ryan's feat in his post-match interview on MUTV.
"I'm amazed that there hasn't been more made of it," said the boss.
"I think we should be making a big deal of it because it’s a fantastic achievement. Not many players have scored 100 league goals for this club."
Giggs joins past goalscoring greats such as Sir Bobby Charlton, Jack Rowley, Denis Law and Dennis Viollet in United's 100 club. And his outing against Derby means he's just 23 games away from equalling Sir Bobby's all-time appearances record.
Sir Alex added: "Of course, the service Ryan has given us, aside from the goals, has been outstanding."
