Manchester United target Everton Ribeiro has been named the Craque do Campeonato – best player in the Brasileirão – by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

The Cruzeiro winger has scored seven goals and provided eleven assists, as a Raposa have comfortably won the Brasileirão title.

Ribeiro, 24, joined Cruzeiro in January from Coritiba. His Head coach, Marcelo Oliveira, was unsurprisingly named manager of the year.

The 58 year-old has been recognised after winning his first Brasileirão. Oliveira’s only other honours are the 2011 and 2012 Campeonato Paranaense, which he achieved coaching Coritiba.

Cruzeiro dominate the team of the season, with four players – goalkeeper Fábio, defender Dedé, midfielder Nilton and Everton Ribeiro – included. 

Atlético Paranaense, who are currently 2nd, also have four. Full-back Marcos Rocha’s inclusion was unsurprising after his form earned him a Seleção call up. Veteran Paulo Baier is also selected, with Manoel and Ederson completing the Furacão representation. 

The final three places are taken by Grêmio left full-back Alex Telles, Flamengo midfielder Elias and Goiás forward Walter.

Finally, the Revelação – young player of the season – was given to Marcelo Cirino of Atlético Paranaense.

Craque do Campeonato: Everton Ribeiro (Cruzeiro)

Revelação: Marcelo Cirino (Atlético Paranaense)

Manager of the season: Marcelo Oliveira (Cruzeiro)

2013 Brasileirão team of the season: Fábio (Cruzeiro); Marcos Rocha (Atlético Paranaense), Dedé (Cruzeiro), Manoel (Atlético Paranaense), Alex Telles (Grêmio); Everton Ribeiro (Cruzeiro), Nilton (Cruzeiro), Elias (Flamengo), Paulo Baier (Atlético Paranaense); Walter (Goiás), Ederson (Atlético Paranaense).
