Quote:Wayne Rooney has been named Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for 2010 after a fantastic season for United.

It's the second time he's won the award, as voted for by United fans around the world, following his original success in 2006.

He won by a landslide this year, receiving 83 per cent of the votes cast on ManUtd.com. Patrice Evra and Antonio Valencia were in second and third place respectively.

On receiving the trophy, Wayne said: "I’m delighted to win the fans’ Player of the Year award. It's a special feeling and something I’m really proud of.

"The fans come and watch us all over the country and all over Europe and pay a lot of money to do it. The support they give us is unbelievable.

"If we’re playing at home and the game isn’t going right for us and we need to score a goal to win it, the fans push you on. You can feel that, you can sense that on the pitch. It’s a magical feeling really. And the fans away from home are incredible. They’re the best fans in the world."

Rooney is the first Englishman to be named United's Player of the Year since Teddy Sheringham in 2001. Should he retain it in 2011, he'll become only the second man to win it three times, emulating Cristiano Ronaldo (2004, 2007 and 2008).

Wayne's club accolade completes a personal Player of the Year hat-trick for this season, after his peers in the PFA and the nation's top football journalists in the FWA also made him their top man for 2009/10.

He won a hat-trick of club awards on Tuesday night, also collecting the Players' Player of the Year accolade from Sir Alex Ferguson and the Goal of the Season trophy for his strike on the counter-attack against Arsenal on 31 January.

Wayne admitted he was "a bit surprised I got Goal of the Season. I think Michael Owen's winner against Manchester City should have won it.

I thought we might be able to use one of these so I thought I would make one. Just come on here and introduce yourself.Hi... I am Paul. I love video games, movies, and the other stuff most people like.I also play sports. I am looking forward to a great Community, Now you introduce yourself.

Anyone know where I can find the highlights for the United Relief on Saturday?
I wanna see "The baby faced assassin" put on a united shirt again. I heard United lost though...

New contract for Neville keeps old guard at United

Quote:The third pillar of Manchester United's old guard, Gary Neville, has been given a one-year extension to his contract after battling back from a career-threatening injury.

agreed a contract with Gary Neville for another year and it is something we have been working on for a couple of weeks," Ferguson told reporters on Friday.

"The amazing thing about Gary is that he has come back from a serious injury in his thirties," Ferguson said.

"To get to the level he is playing at today is astonishing. The man is doing it because of his determination and drive within himself not to give in.

"He is getting the rewards for that and his performance levels recently have been outstanding."

One of the teams in the league that no one really notices. For the 1st time in their long history, they made it through to a European final. And the dippers didn't! A great comeback by the cottagers (you'd think they'd change their nickname, eh?) as they went 1-0 at home, which is tough with the away goals rule. 2 goals in 7 minutes put them in the final.

I guess that as they are an English side and they are NOT chelski, dippers, gooners, leeds, etc we could wish them good luck, eh?
