Manchester United well represented in the Premier League monthly awards for December
According to the club’s official site, Manchester United have received four nominations for the Premier League awards for the month of December.
The Red Devils won five games and drew two more in the Premier League in December. This excellent run of results saw us go joint top with Liverpool with a game in hand.
Given the upsurge in form and performances, it is to be expected that a number of United affiliates are in with a shot for taking home the monthly gongs.
Bruno Fernandes is often in the thick of what Untied do right. He is once again in contention for the Premier League Player of the Month award for December.
The midfielder has sensationally won the award thrice already with the last win coming for November. Having racked up three goals and four assists during December, he is in with a good shout to win his fourth crown.
Keeping it in the house!
He will, however, have to compete against teammate Marcus Rashford. The Englishman is also a former winner of the award having claimed it once before for January 2019.
While Paul Pogba has stepped up his game in recent weeks, it was still not enough for him to gain a nomination in the player of the month category. He does, however, feature amongst those voted for the Premier League Goal of the Month award.
The Frenchman’s equaliser, in our 3-1 victory at West Ham United, faces strong competition but would be a worthy winner if chosen.
Right at the top!
While the players have been taking the plaudits on the pitch, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also deserves to be acknowledged for his off-the-field contribution.
The Norwegian has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Month Award. He has won it once earlier for January 2019. Given the month we have had, it would be a travesty if he isn’t a shoo-in for the award.

The winners of each award will be announced on January 15. If the club avoids defeat in their game in hand on the 12th against Burnley, United will go top overtaking defending champions, Liverpool.
Hopefully there will be multiple reasons for United fans to celebrate in the coming week.
