Amazingly Craig Bellamy has been named
Alan Shearer, a regular award winner at the club, scorer of many vital goal; and Shay Given, influential between the posts for United were beaten by the Wales international who went to Scottish side Celtic on loan in February.
Embarrassingly for United, it means Souness and Shepherd, who have both been keen to distance themselves from Bellamy since the bust up, will have to see the striker presented with the award.
It is believed that Celtic fans are behind Bellamy;s success in winning the official internet poll by deliberately voting for him as he continues to impress at their club, but also to spite ex-Rangers boss Souness.
However, it is known that before Celtic followers became aware of the poll, Bellamy was leading the race anyway.eventually finishing 2,230 votes ahead of Irish keeper Given.
