MANCHESTER United pair Ruben Amorim and Bryan Mbeumo have won the English Premier League Manager and Player of the Month awards for October.
Amorim was named Manager of the Month today, winning the award for the first time.
The 40-year-old Portuguese guided Manchester United to victory in all three of their matches in October, including a stunning 2-1 against champions Liverpool at Anfield.
This is the first time the club have won three in a row since Amorim took charge in November 2024.
Amorim is the first United boss to win the Manager of the Month award since Erik ten Hag in November 2023.
Manchester United began October with an impressive 2-0 win over high-flying Sunderland and followed that up with a dramatic 2-1 success at fierce rivals Liverpool, winning at Anfield for the first time in nearly 10 years.
United ended the month with a 4-2 home victory against Brighton, which sent them, temporarily, into the top four.
Amorim becomes just the sixth Portuguese head coach to take the monthly honour, following Nuno Espirito Santo, Jose Mourinho, Andre Villas-Boas, Bruno Lage and most recently Vitor Pereira with Wolverhampton Wanderers in April 2025.
Amorim topped a four-man shortlist also featuring Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Unai Emery (Aston Villa) and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) after votes from fans were combined with those of a panel of experts.
Cameroon forward Mbeumo, who could face the Super Eagles in next week’s World Cup play-offs, claimed the Premier League Player of the Month award for the first time.
It is also the first time Manchester United have won at least two monthly prizes since November 2023, when Harry Maguire, Ten Hag and Alejandro Garnacho claimed the Player of the Month, Manager of the Month and Goal of the Month awards respectively.
Mbeumo was sensational for Manchester United last month. The winger’s league-high four goal involvements helped his club to win three consecutive matches, the first time they have done so in a season since February 2024.
The 26-year-old either scored or assisted in all three of Manchester United’s victories, beginning the month by setting up Mason Mount’s opener in the 2-0 triumph over Sunderland.
Against Liverpool, he raced through on goal to give his side the lead after just 62 seconds as United went on to secure their first Premier League win at Anfield since 2015.
Mbeumo ended October by scoring a brace as Amorim’s team beat Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford. That made Mbeumo his team’s top scorer in the Premier League this season, with four goals.
He is the first Manchester United player to win the Player of the Month award since Bruno Fernandes in March 2025.
