Manchester united completed a treble of awards after Players Harry Maguire, Alejandro Garnacho and manager Erik Ten Hag bagged the three November Premier league awards. 

Defender Harry Maguire won the Premier league best player for the Month of November after a remarkable return to form, earning the faith of manager Erik ten Hag to be reinstated in Manchester United's starting XI.

He played every minute in the month as Man Utd won all three of their Premier League matches without conceding a single goal. 

Maguire made the joint-most blocks, fifth-most clearances, and won the second-most aerial duels in a dominant month for the centre-back.

Maguire is the first defender to win the award since Liverpool's Joel Matip in February 2022. Overall, he is the 15th defender in history to be voted the Premier League's Player of the Month, and only the third from Man Utd, after Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. 

The 30-year-old topped a six-man shortlist after votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.

Meanwhile, manager Erik ten Hag was voted November 2023's Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month earning victories in all three matches against Fulham, Luton Town and Everton.

It is the third time Ten Hag has won the award, adding to his prizes from September 2022 and February 2023. Only Sir Alex Ferguson, with 27, has won it more times as Man Utd manager.

The Dutchman is one of 32 managers in Premier League history to win as many as three Barclays Manager of the Month awards.

Teenage sensation Alejandro Garnacho's unbelievable overhead kick won November 2023's Budweiser Goal of the Month award. 

Garnacho produced a sensational acrobatic finish to open the scoring in the third minute of Manchester United's 3-0 win at Everton, running away from goal to meet Diogo Dalot's back-post cross with a mid-air finish that flew into the top corner. 

It was one of the best Premier League goals of recent memory, and one that drew incredible reactions from Garnacho himself and people across the world.

“I can't believe it to be honest," Garnacho said after his goal. "I didn’t see how I scored. I just listened to the crowd and said, 'Oh my god'. It’s still November, but probably one of the goals of the season."

It is the second time a Man Utd player has won the award this season, adding to Bruno Fernandes's volley at Burnley from September, and overall it is the seventh time a Man Utd player has won the prize since it was introduced in 2016/17, more than any other club.
