Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been named player of the year at the Northwest Football Awards, beating off competition from Manchester United's David De Gea and Philippe Coutinho of Liverpool.
Aguero was honoured after a season in which he won the Premier League's Golden Boot, for scoring 26 goals, and he struck 32 times in all competitions.
Goalkeeper De Gea and midfielder Coutinho, who were named United's and Liverpool's players of the year respectively, were both shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award.
