MARTIAL IS SEPTEMBER'S PLAYER OF THE MONTH



MARTIAL IS SEPTEMBER'S PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Anthony Martial has been named Manchester United's Player of the Month after a series of dazzling displays in September.

Such was the impressive nature of United's attacking exploits during a busy and successful month, three forwards were nominated among the four contenders for the latest star player award.



As usual, fans voted in their thousands in the poll conducted on our official Twitter account @MAN UTD and Martial emerged as the overwhelming winner, claiming 41 per cent of the final vote ahead of Romelu

Lukaku (31 per cent), Marouane Fellaini (20 per cent) and Marcus Rashford (8 per cent).
The Frenchman was the stand-out performer in United's 4-1 wins over Burton Albion an

CSKA Moscow in the Carabao Cup and Champions League respectively – finding the net and being hugely influential in both games before going on to pick up the club's Man of the Match award, which is also voted for by Reds supporters on Twitter.

He also rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot in the 4-0 win over Everton and came off the bench to make his 100th appearance for United against Crystal Palace last weekend, marking the milestone by setting up Lukaku for the final goal in the Reds' victory by the same scoreline .

The no.11 has impressed Jose Mourinho with his attitude this term and already has five goals and six assists to his name so far in 2017/18.

It's the third time that the 21-year-old has won Player of the Month after also scooping the prize twice during his debut season, in December 2015 and May 2016.

This season, Martial follows in the footsteps of his fellow Frenchman Paul Pogba, who
claimed the accolade for August following a fine start to the campaign for the midfielder.

Congratulations Anthony and thanks to everyone who voted!

It was a close-run thing, but we can confirm four nominees for September's Player-of-the Month award at Manchester United. After a fabulous spell, it was too difficult to whittle the shortlist down to our usual three names so Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford all make the cut. Phil Jones, Nemanja Matic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also picked up votes. Read our summary of each of their performances before casting your own vote via our Official Twitter  account... Marouane Fellaini - Appearances/Goals: 3 (1) / 3 The big Belgian missed the only game where United have dropped points this term, at Stoke City, due to injury, but came off the bench to good effect by scoring in the Champions League opener with Basel.
