Robin van Persie was the big winner at the club’s annual Player of the Year awards on Wednesday night.
The striker was named the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year by readers of ManUtd.com and also collected the Goal of the Season accolade for his sublime volley against Aston Villa last month.
Michael Carrick was recognised by his team-mates and named Players’ Player of the Year, while it was a memorable evening for youngsters Ben Pearson and Adnan Januzaj, who scooped the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year and Reserve Team Player of the Year awards respectively.
You can see highlights from the event above, including interviews with the players and Sir Alex.

The players brought some Christmas cheer to local youngsters at two Manchester hospitals on Thursday.
The first-team squad split into two and headed to the Young Oncology Unit at The Christieand the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital armed with hundreds of United goodies ranging from iPads to cuddly toys which had been wrapped by the club’s young players and staff at Carrington.
The Reds’ young fans were over the moon to come face-to-face with their heroes who set about signing and posing for photographs with as many patients and staff members as they could.
“It’s not easy for kids who are in hospital over Christmas and it was nice to be able to put a smile on their faces,” said Wayne Rooney, who visited The Christie with team-mates Tom Cleverley, Jonny Evans and Ryan Giggs. “It was also good to chat to the parents and the doctors and nurses who do so much great work in looking after the children.”
