But not one Adelaide United senior official was present when Mabil modestly accepted the Reds' sole Football Federation Australia award this season.
Mabil seized the limelight with maturity when he was called on stage in front of the soccer industry audience, which included Reds teammates Cassio, Eugene Galekovic, Dario Vidosic and Marcelo Carrusca.
After accepting the award, he revealed he is desperate to get a ticket to watch his Manchester United heroes take on the A-League's All Stars in Sydney in July.
Good club to pick
Nothing wrong with hearing our young guns setting their sights high. Goodluck lad!
