David De Gea emulated Ronaldo in claiming the players’ award in two successive seasons, in 2014 and 2015, and the Spaniard has won this particular vote more than any other Red, adding further successes to his extended list of career achievements, in 2018 and 2022.
Luke Shaw saw off stiff competition from Victor Lindelof in 2019 to complete his own awards double for the 2018/19 season.
Shaw was the third defender in four years to win, after Chris Smalling (2015/16) and Valencia again (2016/17).
Anthony Martial was recognised following a superb 2019/20 season, followed by Shaw again in 2020/21, David De Gea in 2021/22 and then Marcus Rashford in 2022/23.
Diogo Dalot came out on top following his excellent campaign throughout 2023/24 and compatriot Bruno Fernandes claimed the award for the first time the next term.
