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.
