ANTHONY MARTIAL and Mauricio Pochettino have picked up September's Player and Manager of the Month awards.
Martial, a deadline day signed for Manchester United, made an immediate impact scoring on his debut against Liverpool.
The France striker then hit a double against Southampton to send United top of the league.
Martial is the first United player to win the award since Robin van Persie in April 2013, although Juan Mata won the club's own player of the month award.

Pochettino, meanwhile, guided Spurs to three Premier League wins in three beating Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Sunderland.
"It's a collective honour because we must recognise first our players, all coaching staff and the fans," the 43-year-old told Sky Sports.
"It's good not just for me but for the whole club. It's very important. Okay it's 'manager of the month' but we need to recognise all people involved in the team. The whole club deserve this award.
"It was a fantastic month for us that started at Sunderland, which was a big win, and afterwards Palace and Manchester City. The Sunderland win very important because, after many draws, the team played well but we needed to win, and it confirmed our way.
"Also, Palace were a team who played very well since the start of the season. It's true that the headlines will be the win against Manchester City. After you beat them, it was exciting for all, but every victory was very important."
