Four Reds nominated for September WSL awards

Manchester United Women’s positive start to the Barclays WSL season has been recognised in the nominations for September’s awards.

Elisabeth Terland and Hinata Miyazawa claimed the club’s Player and Goal of the Month prizes respectively, and further success could follow.

Marc Skinner is in the running for WSL Manager of the Month, having guided the Reds to 10 points from our opening four matches.

United eased to victory over Leicester City at the Progress with Unity Stadium and followed that up by convincingly beating London City Lionesses 5-1.

After a hard-fought goalless draw against European champions Arsenal, we got back to winning ways in Merseyside to close out the month, winning 2-0 at Liverpool.

Skinner is up against Sonia Bompastor (Chelsea), Martin Ho (Tottenham Hotspur) and Andree Jeglertz (Manchester City), with Bompastor the only coach boasting a 100 per cent record heading into Friday night’s meeting between United and the Blues.

Anna Sandberg is one of six names bidding to be crowned Player of the Month, with the Reds full-back impressing in her three appearances during September, playing a part in two clean sheets and providing an assist for Melvine Malard at London City.

Aggie Beever-Jones (Chelsea), Aoba Fujino (Manchester City), Alessia Russo (Arsenal), Maisie Symonds (Brighton) and Cathinka Tandberg (Tottenham Hotspur) are Anna’s competitors.

Finally, two Reds are included on the Goal of the Month shortlist, as Miyazawa aims for an awards double.

Jayde Riviere has also been nominated for her angled strike against London City.

Voting for each of the three awards is now open and you can help the Reds win here – just make sure you take part in the polls before they close on Monday 6 October.
