Race for United's Player of the Year hots up

The race for Manchester United's Player of the Year award promises to be one of the closest ever with less than 100 votes currently separating the three leading candidates in the supporters' poll on ManUtd.com.

With votes being cast online until 16:00 BST on Thursday 18 May, hours before the awards dinner at Old Trafford, the recipient of the Sir Matt Busby trophy could be uncertain until the last minute.

Fans can select any current first-team player who made at least one start in 2016/17 before the poll opened on 4 May, but a glance at the results so far shows Ander Herrera, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Valencia - listed there in alphabetical order - are the early front-runners.
