Manchester United’s Harry Maguire secured the November Premier League Player of the Month title, along side with manager Erik ten Hag’s recognition as Manager of the Month.
This achievement marks a notable shift in Maguire’s fortunes, especially considering his prior uncertain status at United and apparent distance from Ten Hag’s favor.
He got his chance in the team after injuries in the backline and has made an impressive return.
Maguire played every minute as United won all three Premier League games in November without conceding a goal.
“Couldn’t have done it without my team mates, the staff and you fans,” said Maguire on X.

“Your love and support doesn’t go unnoticed, I appreciate it.”
Maguire is the third United defender after Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand to win the Premier League Player of the Month award, and only the 15th defender to do so in Premier League history.
The last defender to win the award was Liverpool’s Joel Matip in February 2022.
Earlier this season England boss Gareth Southgate was questioned over continuing to select Maguire despite his lack of playing time at United.
But Maguire’s place in England’s starting XI at Euro 2024 now looks much more assured after his recent club performances.
United took maximum points from matches against Fulham, Luton Town and Everton in November.
The run has seen Ten Hag win the Manager of the Month award for the third time, adding to his prizes from September 2022 and February 2023.
