Triple Delight for Man Utd

Man Utd got something to remember at gala dinner in London. Cristiano Ronaldo won PFA Award Double for PFA Player and Young Player of the year; Sir Alex Ferguson won Special Merit Award and out of 11 PFA Premier League Team of the Year, 8 of them are from Man Utd. Those players are Van Der Sar, the defence quartet Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra, Scholes, Giggs and of course, Ronaldo.

Being heavily criticized for his role in the departure of Wayne Rooney in 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo stood up against those criticism and perform sensationally in almost each match, and still mantain good partnership with Rooney on the pitch. This is a quite remarkable achievement for him, considering what he had endured in the pre-season.

Well, it's somewhat fun to read his comment upon receiving the award, his most typical reaction/comment: "Everything is right this season and I am really enjoying it". "At this moment, I am consistent. I am more mature now and I am playing better". You can see this comment in almost all post-match interview involving him.

anyway, the full award list:

PFA Player of the Year
  1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
  2. Didier Drogba (chelsea)
  3. Paul Scholes (Man Utd)
PFA Young Player of the Year
  1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
  2. Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
  3. Aaron Lennon (Tottenham)
PFA Premier League Team of the Year 2007


#edit
Recently he won another award, PFA Fan' Player of The Year, thus making him winning a Treble PFA Award.
