Sir Alex Ferguson saw his Manchester United side stride three points clear at the Premiership summit following their 3-0 win over Portsmouth, then praised their professionalism for not turning his 20th anniversary into a circus.Ferguson opted not to mark two decades in the Old Trafford hotseat with an on-pitch celebration and instead will celebrate with a lunch in his honour on Monday."Twenty years is a great landmark for me," he said. "I don´t know where the years have gone. There have been some exciting times but I have to look forward. That is what this club has always done and what the players have to do now. They were good because they didn´t let it become a carnival or a circus."
