David Villa has been named Major League Soccer’s Most Valuable Player for 2016.
Seeing off competition from Red Bulls pair Bradley Wright-Phillips and Sacha Kljestan, Villa wins the prestigious Landon Donovan MVP Award for the first time.
In doing so, David becomes the first man playing out of the five boroughs to clinch this individual award.
“I’m very proud to represent NYCFC and to receive this award.”
“It’s a big day for me because this is one of the things I said I wanted to do when I came here two years ago.
