It was a double honour for the striker, who also finished the season as the top scorer with 24 goals.
Taking to Instagram, the excited former Manchester United star wrote, “I waited 17 years before winning my first league title. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, if you keep working hard and never give up, you will get it right one day. God is the greatest.”
