Rooney and Moyes land awards
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney has won
the Barclays player of the month award for January, with Everton
boss David Moyes the top manager.
Rooney
collects the accolade after a series of outstanding
performances helped maintain the Red Devils' Premier League title
push.
The England striker scored six goals during the month and in
doing so soared to the top of the Barclays Race for the Golden
Boot, becoming the first player to reach 20 goals this season.
Rooney, who has scored 20 times in just 23 Premier League games
this season, joins Steven Gerrard in winning the award for a fifth time.
January's manager of the month is Moyes, who wins the award for
a sixth time after his Everton team registered three wins and a
draw in the Premier League.
The decisions were made by the Barclays awards panel, which
includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the
media and fans.
