Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been named as the Premiership Manager of the Month for February, with Red Devils winger Ryan Giggs taking the player's award.
United won three out of three in the league last month to retain their position at the top of the table, with Giggs scoring in the 4-0 win at Tottenham Hotpsur and the 2-1 victory at Fulham.
Awards panel spokesman Jim Hytner said: "Consistency has been the key to United's success this season and there's no better illustration of this than the contribution of Ryan Giggs.
"Ferguson and Giggs' leadership helped United turn the game around against Fulham and kept the Red Devils firmly in the hunt for the Premiership title."
