United's squad decamped to the upmarket Rosso restaurant – part-owned by Rio Ferdinand – in Manchester city centre after their 1-1 draw with Blackburn, before moving on to the nearby Living Room bar.
Only Wayne Rooney, who preferred to celebrate at home with wife Coleen, was absent.
The 25 year-old posted a picture of the pair in their Prestbury home on his Twitter account on Sunday, but not being with his team-mates did not seem to stop the striker, scorer of the penalty which saw United pass Liverpool's record haul of titles, enjoying his achievement.
“A Scouser knocks Liverpool of there perch [sic],” he posted. “Haha. An evertoniian aswell. Yes. People. U can’t imagine how happy I am tonight. Believe.”
The forward, who had earlier chosen to use his chest hair to communicate his delight at reaching 19 titles, later expanded: “Utd til I die. Everton til I die. Believe. Come together. The beatles. Leg.”
It was Ferdinand, United’s Tweeter in chief, who kept fans up to date with developments at Rosso, where the players – led by Ryan Giggs – went through a litany of fans’ songs, serenading Gary Neville and urging Edwin van der Sar not to retire.
One message from the former England captain simply read: “Booooom.” He also posted pictures of team-mates Michael Owen and Nemanja Vidic celebrating.
Ferdinand was at pains to explain on Sunday morning. “Got to thank Rosso Restaurant for looking after the team and providing the fuel [food] for a long evening,” he posted.
Some, though, were not so chirpy. Owen admitted he was a “bit hungover” in a message posted at 7.30am, adding: “I’m off to a Christening today where I’m excited to be God parent to my best friends son notimetosoberup.”
