Cristiano Ronaldo was voted player of the year by his fellow professionals and Cesc Fabregas picked up the young player of the year award at the PFA awards dinner on sunday night. It is the second year in a row that Ronaldo has scooped the award but unlike last year he did not pick up the young player title, that honour went to Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas. Ronaldo was unable to attend the ceremony due to his preparation for United’s Champions League semi final against Barcelona on tuesday but did send an acceptance speech:

“When you work all season to play good, to do something for the team, to do your contribution for the team and then at the end of the season the PFA give you this award, it is a great moment, it is an honour, a pleasure. I voted for Adebayor because I think he has had a great season as well, but you have many players who have had a good season - Torres, Fabregas, many players. But I think I deserve to win”
