Sir Alex: League Manager Of The Year Sir Alex Ferguson's tenth Premier League title has been recognised by the League Managers' Association, who have voted him Manager of the Year. The Scot scooped the top award from his peers for the second time at Monday evening's awards ceremony in Nottingham, having previously won it in 1999. "It is a tremendous honour that my fellow managers should deem me worthy of this award." "I'm very proud to receive it," said a beaming Sir Alex. Van Nistelrooy bears no grudge Ruud van Nistelrooy bears no no ill feeling towards Sir Alex Ferguson following his summer departure to Real Madrid. "United was a fantastic time in my life, not only football but we met some wonderful people," he told The Times. "I turned down the opportunity twice to come here (Real Madrid) during my United days, but this time I could not say no." Van Nistelrooy was left out of United's squad to face Charlton on the final day of the 2005/06 season. He acknowledged there had been a disagreement with the United boss, but it was not so much an issue to have sullied the memory of his time in Manchester. "I owe him a lot and respect him a lot," van Nistelrooy added. "What happened wasn't so big not to talk to him. I said my thing and we just have to move on. "You move to another stage in your career but the memories remain from five fantastic years."

Henrik "Destroyer" Larsson Birthplace: Sweden - Position: Forward - Apps : 11 - Goals: 2 On Loan from Helsingborgs 1 Jan - 31 March 2007  If
the signing of 35 year-old Henrik Larsson raises the odd eyebrow, it's worth
asking Arsčne Wenger what he thinks. For all the brilliance of Ronaldinho and
co, it was the veteran Swede’s substitute cameo showing for Barcelona in Paris
last spring that finally downed the Gunners’ Champions League challenge,
inspiring Frank Rijkaard’s side to glory with assists for both goals. Larsson's
arrival at Old Trafford on a two-and-a-half month loan also stirred the United
dressing room. “A few of the senior players came to me and said ‘Good one. Where
did you get that one from?’,” explained Sir Alex upon the Swede’s arrival.
“There is genuine excitement about Henrik’s arrival.” The fact that he has
forsaken pipe and slippers with his hometown club Helsingborgs suggests
Larsson’s ambition still burns more brightly than he anticipated after leaving
the Nou Camp in the summer. And there is no bigger flame to attract than the
lure of a move to Old Trafford. Larsson's aerial skills and physical strength
make him ideally suited to the cut and thrust of the British game, where he
carved himself a place in Celtic folklore with a remarkable 242 goals in 300
games in a seven-year spell. He has since been rewarded with an MBE in 2006 for
his services to British football. While at Parkhead, he won four SPL titles, two
Scottish Cups and League Cups and the Golden Boot in 2000/01 as Europe’s leading
scorer with 35 league goals - as well as reaching the UEFA Cup final of 2003, in
which he scored twice as Porto beat Celtic 3-2. While his nous will surely prove
invaluable cover in the Premiership as the rigours of the season take their
toll, it will also add significant experience to United’s European challenge in
the knockout stages. It is, without doubt, one of Sir Alex’s most intriguing
transfer dealings. Since making his debut against Aston Villa (FA Cup 3rd
round), and scoring the winning goal, he has been a great addition to the strike
force. His movement on and off the ball has helped United to stay at the top.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
