Manchester United trio up for Player of Month award

Manchester United have had a superb month of September which has seen them climb to the top of the Premier League table. The defence has been solid, midfield creative and up front the forwards have been deadly. One player from each position has been nominated for the Manchester United Player of the Month.

Anthony Martial, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling are all up for the award, and the trio are more than deserving – with any of them being worthy winners.

Chris Smalling has been solid all month and not given any attackers a minute on the ball, whilst being a huge presence in the air and calming the whole defence down.

Juan Mata has been majestic, he has carved opened defences with some wonderful passes, with the best coming against Wolfsburg in the Champions League as he flicked the ball onto the aforementioned Smalling.

My winner of the award would have to be Anthony Martial purely for impact. He came into Old Trafford as a relative unknown but he set the stadium alight from minute one. He scored a wonderful solo goal against Liverpool, before backing that up with a brace against Southampton.
