Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has admitted that Liverpool duo Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso are major rivals for the PFA Footballer of the Year award.
It looked likely that a Manchester United player would scoop the prestigious prize, with Cristiano Ronaldo hoping to lift the trophy for a third successive year.
Giggs, who has never won it despite his 10 Premier League titles, and Nemanja Vidic are also among the front-runners.
However, the former Wales captain feels there are other contenders from outside Old Trafford, with Gerrard and Alonso sure to grab a high volume of votes.
