It hardly seemed a likely outcome before the first hints of a deal became apparent on Thursday evening, by which time supporters had gathered at the player's Prestbury home to demonstrate and claims were being made of discontent in the dressing room.
But now that job is done, Ferguson is keen to turn attention back to his main task, securing results for a team which has drawn five of its eight Premier League games so far and slipped five points adrift of champions Chelsea.
No problem
"There is no problem with the players or myself," said Ferguson. "We are doing what is best for Manchester United.
"We have important issues ahead, starting with Stoke City on Sunday. "We are lagging behind Chelsea and we have to start making up ground quickly.
"We can only do that with everyone on board, with no one jumping ship. "Then we can push on and see the real Manchester United."
