Resurgent Man Utd star Harry Maguire wins Player of the Month as fans say ‘finally Premier League recognising the GOAT’
HARRY MAGUIRE has won the Premier League Player of the Month award for November.
The resurgent Manchester United star was voted the winner by fans for his performances last month.
It is the first time Maguire has grabbed the gong in the top flight and comes after his return to the United first-team.
The defender played every minute of the Red Devils' three Prem matches in November, keeping clean sheets in wins over Fulham, Luton and Everton.
His displays in those matches saw him nominated alongside five other players for the award.
Maguire received more votes than Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon.

The award sees Maguire become only the third Man Utd defender to pick up the award after Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
Reacting after the award was announced, Maguire posted a photo of himself with the gong on his Instagram.
He said: "Couldn’t of done it without my team-mates, the staff and you fans. Your love and support doesn’t go unnoticed, I appreciate it."

Reacting to the news on social media, one fan wrote: "Very well deserved."
Another added: "Good for his confidence."
A third supporter also wrote: "He’s continuing to turn things around.";
Meanwhile, one more celebrated by commenting: "Finally the Premier League are recognising the GOAT."
Maguire was recalled to the starting line-up by Erik ten Hag at the start of October after beginning the season out of favour.
The England international had been close to leaving Old Trafford during the summer after he was stripped of the captaincy.
However, he has since been praised for his "transformed" performances and was one of few players to impress in Saturday's loss at Newcastle.
The Red Devils won a mini-treble of Premier League awards, with Ten Hag also crowned Manager of the Month and Alejandro Garnacho's wondergoal against Everton being awarded Goal of the Month.
