Ryan Giggs was last night named the PFA Player of the Year, beating Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Edwin van der Sar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard to the award.
"It's right up there, with personal accolades it's the best to have as it's voted by your fellow players," Giggs said. "I've been fortunate to win a lot of trophies, I won the young player award twice but this is the big one.
"The manager has been massive in my career from when I first met him when I was 13. That's over 20 years and he knows me better than anyone and our relationship has been brilliant and just gets better. I've been so fortunate to have such a great career in so many great teams, it's not even worth thinking about what it would have been like without the manager."
Aston Villa's Ashley Young was named as Young Player of the Year.
Premier League team of the year: Edwin van der Sar; Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra; Ashley Young, Steven Gerrard, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo; Nicolas Anelka, Fernando Torres
