Giggs best of last 20 years

Manchester City may have wrestled the title from their grasp, but Manchester United were yesterday awarded two prestigious honours for their dominance of the Premier League.

Alex Ferguson was named the best manager in the Premier League’s 20-year history and Ryan Giggs won the best player award at a ceremony in central London.

Ferguson, who was taunted by City striker Carlos Tevez during the Blues’ title-winning parade in Manchester on Monday, was not in London yesterday.
