Sir Alex Ferguson has been named the Barclays Manager of the
Month for October, while Paul Scholes has scooped the Player of the
Month award.
United beat Newcastle, Wigan, Liverpool and Bolton to take a
maximum 12 points from their four Premiership games across the
month.
Scholes' form was integral to United's results, and he marked his
500th Reds appearance against Liverpool with the opening goal to
kickstart a vital win over Rafael Benitez's side.
Jim Hytner, of the Barclays Awards Panel, said: “Manchester United
continue to set the pace this season and Sir Alex has proven he is
very much at the top of his game in his twentieth year in charge at
the club.”
The double accolade is the second time this season United have
clinched both awards, with Sir Alex and Ryan Giggs taking the
awards in August.
