Three Manchester United players; Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo have been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award with Wayne Rooney receiving a nomination for Young Player of the Year.
Ronaldo looks favourite to win the award and Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the PFA, said: "This season was a big test for him, both of his temperament and his ability to rise above the abuse he received after the incident with Wayne Rooney, and he has passed with flying colours in every department. I was not sure after the World Cup if things would get back to normal at Old Trafford, but Cristiano has shown great maturity and proved himself to be a top, top player.
"He has still got the tricks," Taylor said, "and, if he was to perform them on the stage at the London Palladium, you would have to stand up and applaud. For him to be able to perform them on a football field, at full speed with everything going on around him, makes it all the more remarkable."
