Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.
Very disappointing comments like that still happen
I love Alessia
That guy has apologised and said it's all a misunderstanding.
Wonder what his reasoning behind the ”misundestanding” was.
Should have said she is in better shape than that mess and left it at that.
Apparently the trophy really was heavy and he was trying to warn her of the weight at first before offering to help out after he had given it to her.
Hannah Blundell winning players POTY says a lot about how important she must be to the team, particularily when her colleague on the opposite side is maybe the best full back in Europe. You don’t get that accolde without putting in a lot of work that inspires others to perform as well.
it was a well taken goal to be shared by Zelem at the corner kick.Goosebumpa moment.
Vilde Bø Risa’s free kick was perhaps the best taken goal, but Millie Turner’s finish from Zelem’s free kick was my moment of the season!
Russo is more popular perhaps than Batlle, Earps and Galton, who to me deserved it even more. But you can’t argue with her importance to the team.
Yeah I really like to see how much the team itself values Blundell's efforts.
Bøe Risa's free kick was the best one technically but it is what it is when it's a fan vote.
Again it's kind of a popularity vote to an extent. I agree that the three players who you mentioned were perhaps even better than Russo this season. I'd throw in the name of Le Tissier too. What a debut season.
Yea, Le Tissier has a wonderful olaying style for a CB.
Vote for POTS
Kind of a difficult choice for me to be honest. Earps’ form early on was a bit shaky but she’s once again made some incredible saves.
Toone will probably get my vote. Big improvement from last season.
Honourable mentions: Turner, Naalsund, García, Williams

Garcia may well get it, but I am going for LeTissier.
She would've deserved it last season, she was immense. In my opinion she hasn't quite reached that level this year. The chemistry between her and Batlle seemed pretty strong so I think that might have something to do with it.
I understand your points but just think she has been immense. As well as being skillful she can dish it out for fun. And score.
All of Tooney’s goals are worthy or winning it. Wow.

There were so many goal goals in there.
Ella might have had a frustrating season at times, but she's scored some memorable goals.
POTY: Parris has to have a mention becoming our highest ever scorer on the top level. From the matches I’ve seen, Zelem have been very good, but I understand she’s had much criticism in matches I haven’t been able to watch. Likewise Le Tissier, Earps and Blundell. Going with what I’ve seen, I’ll give my vote to Katie Zelem either way.
Goal of the season: Easy peasy. Ella Toone in the cup final is in my top 10 United goals ever.
Young player of the season: Grace Clinton should probably have this.

Naalsund has had a solid season and gone under the radar somewhat. She was back in very good form in the final. In general I don't feel like there has been a standout player this season, everyone has had good spells of form and some less good.
Agree with all of this. Naalsund one of the most consistent performers.
Ella and Ella at Wembley. United Icon and will hopefully continue to have a glittering career.
Naalsund would be my other choice. Nailed down a place in midfield which isn't easy.
Maya great second half to the season. There's collectively been some defensive howlers this season IMO.

Garcia for player of the year for me, although that might just be my desperate hope that she feels our love and is still around next year...
Very hard to erase the recency bias of Ella's screamer in the cup final for goal of the season!

Garcia for the season. The combination of energy, urgency and skill we've seen from Lucia makes her my winner.
Ella for the Cup final goal. Lovely goal at the perfect moment.

Voted for 'what it meant' goals for both men and women in the end. Williams against Chelsea for making us believe - I have never felt LSV rock like when that goal went in!
You could argue that others were more deserving this season but I can see why they went for her. She’s the icon. I can see her spending the rest of her life at United in one role or another.
I think it’s also due to some good goals and performances recently. The goal in the final particularly. Easier for the fans to remember, especially after a poor season.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it got 99% of the votes.
Who's your pick this season?
Bizet has had a very good season, Terland too. Tooney has found her form and Clinton has impressed lately. Le Tessier and Riviera have been strong in defense. However Tullis-Joyce would be my pick, she's been amazing and made only one big mistake all season.

It's a tough one. Any of the players you have mentioned would be a worthy winner, and Turner and Galton too. On balance though I'd have to go with PTJ as well.
Bizet has been a very unexpected surprise, but it's still Phallon for me.
Shout out to Gabby George as well, coming back from that ACL and seamlessly slotting in. Sarina Wiegmann wants her head looking at for refusing to call Gabby up!

Rivière seriously fighting it out with PTJ for me.
It's a difficult one, but I have to discount the forward players because we simply have not scored enough, yet we have created plenty.
Clinton, Toone, Jansson and particularly Miyazawa have all impressed, but it's the defence that has excelled, and that is where my POTY will come from. I'm leaning towards Jayde Riviere.
Jayde Rivière. She’s been immense all season. PTJ fabulous as well.
PTJ for me. Brilliant.
When is the award?
When is the award?
I'm guessing it has to be after the cup final.
Aye I thought it might be. There's a few that could stake a claim but PTJ has been absolutely mint. A lot of pressure and has handled it incredibly with top performances all season.
I agree that PTJ has performed brilliantly all season. She had big boots to fill. But so did Riviere, who is just edging it for me. Le Tissier too - captain of United at such a young age, and an inspiration. But, I'll make my mind up after the next three games.
All good shouts to be honest. Will be a close run thing.
