Soccer-European roundup-United win 17the title, Inter stutter

LONDON, May 11 (Reuters) - Manchester United retained the Premier League title, pipping Chelsea to the championship 10 days before the two sides meet in the Champions League final.

Inter Milan again wasted the chance to retain their Serie A crown in their penultimate game while the French Championship will also be decided on the last day of the season.

The destination of the Premier League title remained uncertain until the last few minutes of a photo-finish season on Sunday before Manchester United eventually did enough to secure their 17th championship.

United beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 away with a first-half Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and an 80th-minute goal by Ryan Giggs to retain the title.

Chelsea ended up two points adrift after giving up an injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 home draw with Bolton Wanderers, a game where they had to better United's result because of the champions' superior goal difference.

There was drama at the bottom too as Fulham completed a remarkable escape by winning 1-0 at Portsmouth, their third away win in a row after going all season before that without one.

Reading and Birmingham City, who both won scoring four goals, went down instead, with bottom club Derby County.
