>>Manchester United have added the World Team of the Year title to their already-bursting trophy room.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson, together with players Ryan Giggs and Ronny Johnsen collected the prize at the inaugural Laureus Sports Awards in Monaco.<<

Apparently this award (strange how no-one had EVER heard of it before!) was given to them for their acheivements LAST season....so it's kind of a year out of date already then? doesn't that mean that they are no longer the World Team of the Year?

Short lived that one or what....hair today, gone tomorrow eh Screach ;)
