Manchester United duo Sir Alex Ferguson and Nemanja Vidic have won the Barclays manager and player of the year awards.

It is the 10th time Ferguson has won the award, voted for by representatives of governing bodies, the media and fans, and defender Vidic's second win.

This season, the pair helped inspire United to a record 19th league title.

The team will be hoping to finish the season with yet more success when they take on Barcelona in the Champions League final at Wembley next Saturday.

Vidic's reward for his consistent performances at the heart of United's defence will make up for missing out on the Professional Footballers Association's and Football Writers' player of the year awards, which were announced last month.

Those were won by Tottenham's Scott Parker of West Ham respectively.
