Manager of the MonthAnthony Martial has been
rewarded for his sensational start to his
Manchester United career by being named the
Barclays Player of the Month for September.
The France international's arrival shortly before
deadline day was met with much scepticism,
largely due to United'a decision to shell out an
initial £36 million on an unproven talent.
But the 19-year-old has responded with three
Premier League goals in his opening four games
for his new club including one 21 minutes into his
debut in the 3-0 win over Liverpool at Old
Trafford.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, meanwhile,
landed the Manager of the Month award after
guiding Spurs to three wins in September,
including a 4-1 victory at home to Manchester
City.
"It's a collective honour because we must
recognise first our players, all coaching staff and
the fans,” said the Tottenham manager.
"It's good not just for me but for the whole club.
It's very important. Okay it's 'manager of the
month' but we need to recognise all people
involved in the team. The whole club deserve this
award.
"It was a fantastic month for us that started at
Sunderland, which was a big win, and afterwards
Palace and Manchester City. The Sunderland win
very important because, after many draws, the
team played well but we needed to win, and it
confirmed our way.
"Also, Palace were a team who played very well
since the start of the season. It's true that the
headlines will be the win against Manchester City.
After you beat them, it was exciting for all, but
every victory was very important."
