Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Blackburn boss Mark Hughes
have won the Premier League player and manager of the month awards
for October.
Rooney, 22, has been outstanding as champions United have moved
into second place in the Premier League and reached the Champions
League knockout phase.
His award came on the day when it was revealed Rooney will be out
of action for four weeks with an ankle injury.
Hughes has been rewarded for Rovers' fine run to sixth place in the
league.
