Ferguson guided Manchester United to the summit of the Barclays
Premier League following a perfect start to 2009.
Manchester United's clean sheet record owed much to the presence
of Nemanja Vidic, who produced a string of impressive displays in
January.
The Serbian international also proved a threat in the opposition
area, scoring the vital opener in the win over Chelsea and heading
the third goal in his side's comfortable win at West Bromwich
Albion.
The Barclays Manager of the Month award for January is
Ferguson's 22nd, while this is Vidic's first monthly player
award.
