Sir Alex Ferguson admitted handing over the Manager of the Year trophy to Pep Guardiola was "sore" as the Spaniard was rewarded for winning another Premier League title.
Guardiola led Manchester City to their third successive league win, with his side also fighting to win a treble. If they managed to win both the FA Cup and Champions League in the next fortnight, Guardiola will match a feat only Ferguson has achieved with an English club.
The first piece of the treble was secured 10 days ago, with Guardiola's men successfully overcoming Arsenal, who had led the table for much of the campaign. But it was City who ended up winning the league, the fifth time they have done so in six years.
