Reserves award nominees named

Three youngsters from United's league-winning Reserves side are in contention for this season's Denzil Haroun Reserve Player of the Year award. Reserves coach Warren Joyce nominated Larnell Cole, Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane for the award, won last year by Oliver Gill. Visit manutd.com/awards to watch a video of the trio in action and to vote for your choice. But first, read Joyce's assessment of the nominees: Larnell Cole: "Some of the skills you see Larnell do every day are brilliant; the way he shifts the ball around, his decision-making and selection of passing are good. He’s worked really hard every day, is always doing extra things and has had a good season." Jesse Lingard: "Jesse has weighed in with a lot of goals throughout the season. He's got pace as well as athleticism, and some strength and power in his game now. He also has the ability to go past people with clever play. He's a good character in the dressing room with a bubbly personality." Michael Keane: "Michael handles the ball really well and makes good decisions. He is generally brave and wants to defend – you've seen that in games with the amount of blocks or headers he puts in. He defends really well in one-versus-one situations and I don't think he's had many bad days this season, never mind bad games." Voting closes on Tuesday 1 May and the winner will be announced at the prestigious Player of the Year dinner at Old Trafford on Monday 14 May. You can also vote for your Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and, from Friday, your Goal of the Season.
