Anthony Martial, Maurico Pochettino Win Premier League Awards For September
The Spain global enjoyed an excellent month as United hit the top of the Barclays Premier League table before losing at Arsenal in the opening game of October.
Martial came on to score an astonishing goal against Liverpool on his debut and then supplemented that showing with two goals in the club’s 3-2 win at Southampton soon after.
The France international’s arrival shortly before deadline day was met with much scepticism, largely due to United’a decision to shell out an initial £36 million on an unproven talent.
Manchester United almost missed out on the signing of teenager Anthony Martial after it was revealed Premier League rivals Chelsea made a bigger offer than Louis van Gaal’s side.
The Red Devils were criticised in a few quarters for spending £36m on the relatively unproven 19-year-old, but he has since gone on to score four goals in seven outings.
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, was rewarded for his side’s fine displays with the manager’s prize.
Spurs won all their three of their Premier League fixtures in September, including an impressive 4-1 win over leaders Manchester City.
“It’s good not just for me but for the whole club”. When you make an assist you have to have someone finish that goal and it was very important for us. The Argentine boss managed to help the north London club victories over Sunderland, Crystal Palace and most importantly against Manchester City.
