PFA Footballer of the Year Awards - looks like Utd...

Man Utd dominate PFA awards list


Steven Gerrard is the only non-Manchester United player in the running for the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year award.

The Liverpool captain is joined on the shortlist by United's Nemanja Vidic, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar.

Jonny Evans and Rafael Da Silva are nominees for the young player award.

Also in contention with the United pair are Gabriel Agbonlahor, Ashley Young, Aaron Lennon and Stephen Ireland.

Defender Vidic is favourite to lift the trophy at London's Grosvenor House on 26 April.

Voting took place before United's recent dip in form, perhaps explaining why the list of contenders is dominated by players from Sir Alex Ferguson's team.

But Gerrard could benefit from a split vote for United players as David Ginola did during their 1999 treble-winning season - an outcome that annoyed Ferguson.

Giggs has never won the award, whereas Ronaldo could become the first player to win it three years in a row.

After a superb season for Manchester City, Ireland is favourite to succeed Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas as the country's top youngster.

Agbonlahor and Young have both impressed for Aston Villa, while Tottenham winger Lennon has also caught the eye.

Biggest joke ever !!!! no way do all them united players deserve to be there ... van der sar and vidic maybe but no-one else !!! Ronaldo has been crap this season and is still nominated ? its a joke !!!............. Gerrard to win it anyway !

[Daei_The_King]

yh, sometimes when LOADS of players are nominated from one club, the player from the other club benefits from the split vote.. but i wouldnt mind CR7 winning

[yashar_fasihnia]

i think lampard deserved a nomination as well...

[Mr Pouya]

for me its either vidic or giggsy...vidic deserves it more but i think this is the last chance for giggs and he truly deserves it

[mkbf2]

How is Nasri, Fellaini, Denilson, Djourou, not on the best young players?!
How is Lampard, Van Persie, even Cesc not on best?!?

[kaz]

Lampard is criminally left out. But it wouldn't make much of a difference...Gerrard is the best player of the year.

lampard deserves to win this more than anyone else IF gerrard doesn't win and they let someone like cron win it

[Suprah]

Dont really care who wins it. But if its either Vidic or Giggs, I'd be happy for them

[teammelli34]

If Ronaldo wins it its the biggest crime ever.
