Full-back Patrice Evra will be happy to "pay the musician" who acknowledges Manchester United's Barclays Premier League title triumph.
Although United dropped a couple of points at West Ham on Wednesday, they now only require six more from their remaining five games to seal a 20th championship.
With a home game against relegation-threatened Aston Villa looming on Monday and a Swansea team with nothing to play for due to visit Old Trafford next month, the goal should be achieved easily enough without bothering about more tricky assignments against Arsenal and Chelsea.
And that, in Evra's view, would be enough to silence the critics who feel this is well short of a vintage United squad.
Twice they battled from behind to secure a precious point at Upton Park - in a throwback to the early weeks of the campaign, when United repeatedly fought their way back from losing positions.
Victories like that are the reason United have established such a handsome advantage over Manchester City and almost certainly will allow them to repel the Blues, despite their recent impressive form.
