Minnesota United FC midfielder Miguel Ibarra was named the North American Soccer League’s most valuable player on Friday, and United’s Manny Lagos was named coach of the year.

Ibarra scored nine goals and had five assists in United’s season that ended in the league playoff semifinals last Saturday.

“This has been an unforgettable year for me,” Ibarra said in a statement. “It has been a dream come true. … Hard work, dedication and faith was what did it for me.”

Ibarra, who joined Minnesota’s pro soccer team in 2012, was a headliner on the NASL’s Best XI roster announced Thursday. United teammates Christian Ramirez, Justin Davis and Tiago Calvano also made the lineup.

Lagos, a St. Paul native, led United to a 16-5-7 record, including a NASL modern record of 55 points to go with a spring season championship. United was upset by Fort Lauderdale in the NASL semifinals last Saturday.

“We had a great year,” Lagos said in a statement. “I think this award is a representation of the great coaching staff and the players.”

Lagos has compiled a 64-51-44 record in five seasons in Minnesota.
