The event is due to be held on 7 November at Emirates Old Trafford, the cricket ground, and recognises the talent across the region, with representations from a number of clubs.
For instance, there are five players up for the Premier League Player of the Season trophy, one from each local team in the top flight last term.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the United man but faces competition from Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Everton keeper Jordan Pickford and Josh Brownhill, a former Reds schoolboy, from Burnley, who have since been relegated, of course.
