Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 win season awards
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Captain Nemanja Vidic have received manager and player of the year awards respectively. Both men won the same awards back in 2009 when Manchester United won their third back to back title.
This is the 10th time Manchester United boss Sir Alex has received this honour, which is voted by governing body representatives, members of media and the fans. While, it’s the 2nd one for Vidic.
There is probably nothing that has not already been said about Sir Alex Ferguson, at the age of 67 the Veteran still jumps with joy on every United goal. There was a feeling that after winning the record 19th league title for United, he may decide
to retire. But the Scot is showing no signs of slowing down, and maybe now he has the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 record of five European trophies in his sights.
This season has not been a vintage United campaign, but that is also a testimony to United that despite not having their best season, they have still managed to win the league title record 19th time.
There can be yet more success on the way and this can be one of the most memorable seasons if they can beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the final of UEFA Champions League on 28th of May at Wembley.
Nemanja Vidic was also nominated for other two awards which were Professional Footballers Association's and Football Writers' player of the year awards, but this award certainly will make up for the other two. Vidic has been an absolute rock in the heart
of defence for Manchester United and once again the Red Devils have had the best defensive record in the league. Vidic has formed a lethal partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 in centre of defence for Manchester United and many say that this is the best centre-back
pairing Manchester United has ever hard.
Earlier, before the season began, there were reports that Vidic may be on his way out of the club, the main reason behind him leaving was his wife. It was public knowledge that his wife found it difficult to settle in the rainy weather at Manchester and
wanted to leave.
Vidic was himself undecided, but after the world cup while he was on vacation, Manchester United Chief Executive David Gill flew out to have a meeting with him and agreed on a verbal contract. When he rejoined the team, he signed a five year extension and
to show his faith in Vidic, Ferguson handed him the Captain’s arm band.
There is no doubt that Vidic will be one of the most important players for Manchester United in the final next week against Barcelona, as he will have the task of taming http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. If he manages to lead United to Champions League glory, he will surely
go down as one of the best captains in Club's history.
