Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for September. 

The Red Devils have won their last four league games in a row, two of which came in September. United beat Leicester before recording an impressive 3-1 victory over Arsenal three days later.

Ten Hag is only the second United boss to win the award since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's scooping the prize in January 2019.

He has beaten Tottenham's Antonio Conte and Bournemouth caretaker boss Gary O'Neil to be named manager of the month.

It's a stark contrast the the Dutchman's opening games as United manager. They kicked-off the season with a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton before the humiliating 4-0 loss to Brentford. 

However, since their morale boosting win over Liverpool at the end of August, Ten Hag's men have remained unbeaten, winning four matches in a row. 

United currently sit fifth place in the table, six points behind leaders Arsenal, but have played a game less following the postponement of their previous two matches down to the circumstances surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth II. 

Upon announcing the award on their Twitter feed, the Premier League captioned the post with the phrase 'building his vision' as a nod to the work that Ten Hag has begun at Manchester United.  

The award marks an Old Trafford double, with Marcus Rashford being named the Player of the Month for his performances across September. 

Rashford scored two goals, provided two assists and played in both United's victories this month.
