FOOTBALL Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who won the Barclays manager of the year award. United defender Nemanja Vidic won the player of the year award. - 0

The awards recognise another outstanding season for the club in winning their third successive Premier League title.

It is the ninth time Ferguson has received the honour while Vidic collects his for the first time in his career.

The Serbian, 27, was sent off in both matches against title rivals Liverpool but otherwise performed impressively in the United rearguard, not least during a run of 14 consecutive clean sheets.

That sequence came amid a 16-game unbeaten run from November to March which propelled Ferguson to his 11th title as United boss.

  14. Congratulations to Fergie and Vidic - another­ outstanding season by both - SAF is consistently the­ outstanding manager in any league. My one criticism of­ Vidic - he has melt downs from time to time, especially­ when there is a lot riding on the outcome - such as­ tonight. I probably wouldnt have singled him out, maybe­ Gerrard, or Cahill or Rio or Ronaldo.

    The manager that­ wins the most and he has, will win this award more­ often than not. Benitez will win @#$% all!

    Ade P -­ bitter much? You wish your team had him for a manger!

  20. item10, presume you talk about gerrard, please tell us­ when he was found guilty of any offence, which would­ warrant you calling him a thug, from your name it­ sounds like you hail from a country were people are­ guilty without trial, you should consider returningto­ that country , because in this country, YOU ARE­ INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE, GOT IT SCUM.
