There was a great quiz I did earlier to name United's fans player of the year, every year for the last 30 years
It was not difficult as it just gave the year and nationality. So by the process of elimination I got 26 out of 30 but knew 2 others in kancheskis and Hernandez which i had spelt wrong.
I missed 10/ 11 teddy sheringham and ince 94 I think.
Anyway, i was astounded to notice some of the real fan favourites that never won it.
Big pete, , Bruce irwin yorke Cole rii evra ole neville And a most notable absentee scholes. .
Rooney RVN Keane Becks ddg mc clair all won twice. Ithink vidic and pallister won 1 each but no scholes unbelievable Geoff.

That’s a really good point ken. Perhaps the fans don’t always pick the best player but the one who stood out for another reason, perhaps they performed better than we expected? Scholes and Beckham were playing in a brilliant team which made winning it more difficult and whilst DDG has been excellent, he hasn’t had a huge amount of competition in recent years! Take last year, Herrera won it but was he outstanding? Probably not. My memory is not what it was but there are some surprising choices when you look back and consider who was in the team.

Yeah Ajh ddg won 3 years in a row before herrera. Some great players on the list it brought back good memories.

I think we take certain players for granted.

Of those still in the squad ddg herrera and valencia have won it.
I suppose each fans criteria is different.
For the season so far my vote could go to any of 4 players all for different reasons Young, matic, pogba or ddg . I hope sanchez makes a late bid for my vote this season.
