Last night Manchester United held their annual end of season awards ceremony to celebrate this season and obviously give out awards. There was one noticeable absentee from the ceremony and that was Carlos Tevez, it is looking more and more likely that he is leaving.
Back to the awards, Nemanja Vidic won the two main awards. Vidic was named Player of the Year by United fans and his team-mates.
Vidic collected the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award (voted for by the fans), and the Players' Player award, he was given a standing ovation when he went to pick them up.
"I am honoured," Vidic said. "It is amazing to win these awards, especially when I consider the quality of the players I play alongside every day. I would like to say thank you to the fans and to my team-mates.
"I enjoy being here every day and playing with these players and working with the coaches. I'm very happy here at United [fantastic news]."
he added: "I've not won many awards in my career so this is why my speech is not the best. Maybe if I win another award next year it will be better."
Youngster Federico Macheda won Jimmy Murphy Academy Player of the Year after having a fantastic season for Man United, not just for the reserves but he has also had two unforgettable matches for the senior squad.
Kiko said: "I'm very happy to receive this award. I'd like to thank McGuinness, the coaches and all the players." He explains where his nickname comes from: "When I was younger my little cousin couldn't say my name, so he just called me Kiko".
The nominations for this award were: Matty James, Federico Macheda, and Danny Welbeck
James Chester picked up the Denzil Haroun Reserve Player of the Year. The nominations for the award were James Chester, Corry Evans and Tom Cleverley. Chester is Manchester United's reserve team captain, he has also gone out on loan to Peterbrough this [it's really last season now] season.
Chester was asked, how do the two Fergusons compare? "They're both the same, really," he said "But I'd rather work for the one here!"
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't leave empty handed, Ronaldo claimed the Goal of the Season trophy for his 40 yard wondergoal against Porto in the second leg of the Champion's League. The nominations for the award were Dimitar Berbatov vs Tottenham, Ronaldo vs Porto, and Macheda v Aston Villa.
Ronaldo said: "In my opinion, it is a fantastic goal. [I don't think may people could argue with that]".
I agree with the fans and i'm also glad the players appreciate the work rate a player like Nimanja Vidic puts in on a regular Basis, i actually thought he would have had a better shout than Giggsy for the PFA award, but its all good.
Hi Griffin, thanks for your comment. vidic has had a fantastic season and I also thought he would probably get the PFA award but congratulations to all the players.
