It’s been a perfect October for Manchester United as they secured three wins out of the three Premier League games of this month, which has moved Man United to 6th in the league table with only two points away from the top two. After a very difficult start in the league, manager Ruben Amorim is now in a kind of comfort zone following all those three wins, which also helped him to get nominated for the PL Manager of the Month of October.
