United fans have voted Owen Hargreaves the Reds' Player of the
Month for August, even though the 26-year-old played in just two of
United's five competitive fixtures.
More than 14,000 ManUtd.com users took part in the poll, which saw
the former Bayern Munich midfielder up against Patrice Evra, Nani,
Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic.
Vidic collected an impressive 27% of the vote after a number of
commanding displays at the heart of United's back four, but it was
Hargreaves' performances against Manchester City and Tottenham
Hotspur that saw more than 5000 fans vote for the England
international.
In the end, Hargreaves, who has won ManUtd.com Man of the Match
awards in United's last three matches, scooped 38% of the vote,
leaving Evra, Scholes and Nani to share the remaining 35%.
Player of the Month: August
35% - Owen Hargreaves
28% - Nemanja Vidic
