Rooney to be run close
Wayne Rooney is the runaway favourite to clinch the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year accolades at tonight's end-of-season awards ceremony at Old Trafford.
But Sir Alex Ferguson believes there are a number of player who deserve recognition and could run Rooney close for United's top individual awards. Asked who fans on ManUtd.com would vote for other than Rooney to make it into the top three, Sir Alex quickly offered his own suggestions.
"Patrice Evra - he’s bound to be up there, no doubt about that," the boss told ManUtd.com.
"I think Darren Fletcher’s matured into a top player for us too, and Antonio Valencia has had a great season. He’s done very, very well in his first season at the club."
There are three ways to follow the event - from the red carpet to the announcement of the awards themselves, which also include Goal of the Season, Denzil Haroun Reserves Player of the Year, and Academy Player of the Year.
