Manchester United's Harry Maguire was rewarded for an impressive run with a Premier League Player of the Month nomination.

England international Harry Maguire has been shortlisted for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for November. 

The Manchester United centre-back leads a six-man list of players named for the coveted award after a brilliant return to first-team action for the Reds.

Per the Premier League, the six players have been shortlisted for the EA SPORTS award after producing outstanding performance in the month in review.

Maguire lost his place in the team and his position as captain of the club to Bruno Fernandes just before the start of the new season.

However, the defender has looked rejuvenated following his return to favour and action for the Red Devils.

Maguire was in superb form as United went through the month unscathed following three wins. 

The former Leicester City star featured in all the games, helping Ten Hag’s men to three clean sheets which saw them move to within six points of leaders, Arsenal.

According to the club website via the Premier League, Maguire made the joint-highest blocks and the fifth-highest clearances in the month.

This will be Maguire’s first-ever nomination, but he faces a difficult competition from five others.
