Cristiano Ronaldo won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award twice. He received it for the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons while playing for Manchester United.
The award is voted for by fellow professional footballers through the Professional Footballers' Association. Ronaldo's first win came during his breakthrough season, when he helped United retain the Premier League title and also won the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
He repeated the achievement in 2007–08 after scoring 42 goals in all competitions and helping Manchester United win both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. His second PFA award confirmed him as the outstanding player in English football.
The number is sometimes confused with his other honours, including three Premier League Player of the Season awards and multiple PFA Fans' Player of the Year awards. The question refers specifically to the senior Players' Player award, for which his total is two.
