Players of The Year
Prior to 1990, a single award was presented to the best young player of that season. After 1990, two separate awards were presented. The Young Player of the Year award is named after Jimmy Murphy, Sir Matt Busby's long-time assistant manager, who died in 1989. Denzil Haroun was a former club director and the brother-in-law of former club chairman Louis Edwards.

Famous quotes containing the words players and/or year:
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
