Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Premier League Manager of the Month for January.He becomes the first United manager to win prize since Sir Alex Ferguson in 2012.

United were unbeaten in January, winning three of their four games against Newcastle, Tottenham and Brighton, while they were held by Burnley - Solskjaer's only draw since taking charge.

Solskjaer, who presided over three successive wins in December, has taken United to within two points of fourth-placed Chelsea, ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham, live on Sky Sports.

Asked at his Friday news conference about his impressive start at United, Solskjaer said: "It's been a great achievement.

"The team deserves every single bit of credit - they've done it.

"But I don't look back at being proud of this and proud of that, I've never been that way, I've always looked forward and not sat down before a chapter is finished.

"I reflect, but I've never [pat myself on the back] and said, 'Well done', maybe I should do more often. But that's just me."
