Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic would be honoured to be nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award. "Just to be a candidate as player of the year would be a big honour, when you consider the players who are here," he said.

"I have scored goals, so maybe people are thinking about that. We have also kept a lot of clean sheets and certain individuals have been praised, including me, so that might be part of it too.

"It has been a good year for me and I am happy with the contribution I have made to the team.

"But more importantly I hope everyone can see the improvement I have made.

"All the players here are the same. They don't want to stay still, they want to get better and better."
