Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player in 30 years to win the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year awards after beating Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas to both accolades on Sunday night.
The 22-year-old Portuguese winger has been in scintillating form this season, firing 21 goals and setting the Premiership alight with his skill and trickery.
The last player to win both awards was Andy Gray in 1977, and Ronaldo is the first United player to win the senior award since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002. He takes the Young Player crown from Wayne Rooney, who has held the trophy for the past two years.
Cristiano collected the award at a gala dinner in London and described it as a "special night".
"It is amazing and a big honour for me to win trophies like this in the English Premier League. I am very proud," he said. "My colleagues have voted for me and that is fantastic because players know the qualities of players.
"I want to keep working hard and getting better because these trophies have now given me more motivation. At this moment, I am consistent. I am more mature now and I am playing better.
"This great team has helped me as well," he said, acknowledging the role of his team-mates, "because when the team win it is easier for us all to play with more confidence."
The prestigious accolades, voted for by fellow professionals, mark a personally good end to a season which began with boos from opposition fans and criticism in some sections of the press for a perceived contribution to England's exit in the quarter finals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Worthy winner. But then again, I would say that, wouldn't I?
If United come out with a couple of trophies this season a lot of it will be down to Ronaldo.
I agree young man
