Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for September.
The 36-year-old scored three goals in his first three appearances on his return to Manchester United following a summer move from Juventus.
That included a brace on his debut to help the Red Devils beat Newcastle United 4-1, as well as the opening goal in the 2-1 win over West Ham United.
Sky Sports News reports that Ronaldo beat off competition from Joao Cancelo, Antonio Rudiger, Allan Saint-Maximin, Mohamed Salah and Ismaila Sarr.
As well as his exploits in the league, the Portuguese international also netted in the Champions League against Young Boys and Villarreal.
The Premier League also named Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta Manager of the Month, while Andros Townsend was awarded Goal of the Month for his long-range strike against Burnley. body check tags ::
