Four Manchester United players have been included in the
annual PFA Team of the Year.
Edwin van der Sar, Nemanja Vidic, Nani and Dimitar Berbatov have
all shone this season for the Reds, and at a gala dinner in London
on Sunday their consistent performances were recognised by their
fellow professionals.
Vidic, Nani and Javier Hernandez were also nominated for
individual gongs – Vidic the Player of the Year award, Nani and
Hernandez the Young Player of the Year honour – but the prizes went
to Gareth Bale and Jack Wilshere respectively. Hernandez, in his
first season in England, came third in the Young Player
category.
The Reds’ representation in the Team of the Year was higher than
any other club’s. Alongside United’s quartet, Bacary Sagna
(Arsenal), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Vincent Kompany (Manchester
City), Samir Nasri (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Gareth Bale
(Tottenham Hotspur) and Carlos Tevez (Manchester City) were also
selected.
