He won the Professional Footballers' Association's Player's Player, Fans' Player, and Young Player of the Year awards, as well as the Football Writers' Association's Footballer of the Year award,[64][65] becoming the first player to win all four main PFA and FWA honours.[66] His club wages were concurrently upgraded to £120,000 a week (£31 million total) as part of a five-year contract extension with United.[67]
