The 52-year-old overcame a difficult start to his reign at Old Trafford with shock losses to Brighton and Brentford in his first two games.

Marcus Rashford completes double winning Player of the Month for September
Erik’s victory also completes a full sweep, with striker Marcus Rashford winning the Player of the Month award. This is only the second time when such a feat has occurred, with Rashford and Solskjaer winning in the same month three years ago. Rashford scored twice and delivered two assists to win his first POTM award since January 2019. The Englishman beat the likes of Bournemouth’s Philip Billing, Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne, Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Everton’s Alex Iwobi, and Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.
