He finished the season winning the club's Supporter's Player of the Year and Player's Player of the Year awards, and the Premier League Player of the Season for his outstanding performances throughout the campaign, clocking up 50 appearances in all competitions including 37 Premier League starts. 2011–14 Kompany was firmly installed as club captain for the 2011–12 season, with Tevez having expressed publicly his desire to leave the club.
