sport news Sportsmail's experts pick their award winners for this amazing season

It's been an amazing Premier League season, with the title race between Liverpool and Manchester City going down to the wire.

Records are being broken, and we've also got four English teams in the two European finals, the first time any nation has achieved such a feat. 

So, what did Sportsmail's experts Danny Murphy and Jermaine Jenas think of the season? Read on to find out their picks for best player, best manager, and many more. 

Best player

Murphy: 

Virgil van Dijk

Not only have Virgil van Dijk's own displays been outstanding, he's improved everyone around him in the Liverpool defence as well. 

Jenas:  

Raheem Sterling

Virgil van Dijk has been brilliant. But we knew that Liverpool had defensive issues. It was always going to be easier for him to stand out. For Sterling to do that in an already magnificent City attack shows just how phenomenal he is.

Best manager

Murphy:

Jurgen Klopp

You could make a case for Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola or Mauricio Pochettino if he wins the Champions League. But for Klopp to mount a title challenge and get to a European final is amazing. 

Jenas: 

Pep Guardiola

A close call between Guardiola and Klopp. But the consistency shown by City to claw back that gap to Liverpool at the turn of the year has been relentless. They've beaten Spurs, United, Burnley and Leicester. Such pristine football. 

Best match 

Murphy: 

Man City 2 Liverpool 1

In the Premier League, it's Manchester City's 2-1 win against Liverpool at the Etihad. The quality allied to the intensity made it a brilliant watch. The most astonishing moment of drama came in the Champions League when Spurs scored their winner against Ajax deep into injury-time. 

Best goal 

Murphy:

Vincent Kompany v Leicester

I loved Arsenal's team goal earlier in the season scored by Aaron Ramsey but in terms of brilliance and importance, the incredible strike by Vincent Kompany against Leicester on Monday night takes some beating. 

Jenas: 

Andros Townsend v Manchester City

I know Kompany's strike was probably the one that won the title but the goal of the season, for me, comes down to technique. Andros Townsend will never hit a ball like that again. The way it moves, the cleanness of the strike. 

Best signing 

Murphy:

Joao Moutinho

For £5million, Joao Moutinho at Wolves has been an outstanding piece of business. He is calm, experienced, links up play, controls tempo and has helped younger team-mates such as Ruben Neves. He's so reliable and a major factor in Wolves' wonderful season. 

Jenas: 

James Maddison

He has been outstanding. He was a good player at Norwich but what we have seen from his first Premier League campaign — from his creativity, his free-kicks — he will kick on again at Leicester. 

Greatest flops 

Murphy: 

Manchester United

It will make people laugh because of my Liverpool connections, but I have to go with Manchester United. It has been a disastrous season — they have completely failed to deliver. People can debate who is to blame but the bottom line is they are well below what's needed. 

Jenas: 

Manchester United

Everyone can see United have had a poor season but the biggest failing for me was how they slipped back again after winning all those games under Solskjaer. How they have allowed it to get back to
