Manchester United boss nominated for November manager of the month award

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Month award following a sublime run in November.

Ten Hag guided Manchester United to wins in all three league games they played in November and is currently the Premier League’s most in-form team.

The Red Devils kicked off November with a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to Fulham on Saturday, November 4, 2023, thanks to Bruno Fernandes’s goal in stoppage time, followed by an identical win at home to Luton Town a week later.

The Dutchman then capped off a wonderful month with a 3-0 win away to Everton on Sunday, November 26, 2023, in a game which Argentine attacker Alejandro Garnacho scored one of the most memorable goals in the Premier League.

Manchester United has risen to sixth on the Premier League log with 24 points from 13 matches, six points off the top spot currently held by Arsenal.

Ten Hag, who took over Manchester United in May 2022, hopes to win his third Premier League Manager of the Month award. He won it in September 2022 and February 2023.

Other managers who have been nominated for the award are Eddie Howe (Newcastle), Bounemouth’s Andoni Iraola, and Rob Edwards of Luton Town but Ten Hag is the clear favourite as he is the only manager who won all his league matches in November.
