Leading the headlines is Igor Thiago, who has been crowned Player of the Month after a red-hot run in front of goal for Brentford.

On the touchline, it’s a dream start for Michael Carrick, who picks up the Manager of the Month award shortly after stepping into the dugout at Manchester United.

Friday couldn’t have been scripted any better for the Brazilian striker. Just hours after signing a new five-year deal, Thiago was announced as January’s top player.

Five goals across the month pushed him ahead of a competitive shortlist and added another individual prize to the one he previously claimed in November.

With this latest triumph, Thiago becomes the first Brazilian in Premier League history to win the Player of the Month award more than once.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” Thiago told Brentford media. “I’ve asked people at the club how many Brentford players have won this, and they told me that nobody had received this trophy before me.

“So I’m really happy to have won it two times now and I look forward to, hopefully, winning more!

“I also want to thank all of the staff and all of the players for their support and for helping me on the pitch.”

Over at Old Trafford, Carrick wasted no time making his presence felt. Appointed on January 13, he had only two matches before the month ended, but what a statement those games were.

Victories over rivals Manchester City and Arsenal gave United a much-needed lift after an inconsistent spell, instantly strengthening his case for the award.

“It’s nice,” Carrick said of his victory. “It shows we’ve had a good start.

“It’s not me, really. Let’s be honest, it’s not just about me, it’s about everyone. It’s about the staff, the coaching staff, the backroom staff, the players definitely.

“It shows we’ve had a good start, which is very pleasing.”

Carrick finished ahead of nominees including Chelsea’s Liam Rosenior, Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, and Sean Dyche, who was dismissed by Nottingham Forest just a week after being shortlisted.

Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari kicks off the list after a quietly impressive month. The 22-year-old has already surpassed last season’s goal and assist numbers, registering two goals and two assists in four January appearances.

At Manchester United, Patrick Dorgu caught the eye during a flawless month under interim boss Michael Carrick. Deployed high up the pitch, the winger found the net against Arsenal and Manchester City, while also providing an assist during Darren Fletcher’s brief spell in charge.

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández delivered when it mattered most, scoring late winners against Manchester City and West Ham. His January return of three goals and one assist under Liam Rosenior highlighted his growing leadership role in midfield.

West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville rediscovered his scoring touch after a long drought. Having gone without a league goal since October 2024, the Dutchman struck in three consecutive matches against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Sunderland.

Brentford striker Igor Thiago is chasing history, hoping to become the first player to win the award twice this season. He enjoyed a prolific month, scoring five goals, including a hat-trick against Everton and a brace against Sunderland.

Harry Wilson earns back-to-back nominations after another productive spell for Fulham. With goals against Chelsea, Brighton and Liverpool, the Welshman continues to push Marco Silva’s side toward European contention as his contract situation draws attention.

Completing the list is Florian Wirtz, who receives his first nomination since joining Liverpool. The German midfielder contributed three goals and one assist, standing out during a difficult month in which the Reds managed just one win from six league games.

Manager of the Month contenders

The managerial shortlist reflects dramatic turnarounds and impressive short-term impacts:

• Michael Carrick (Manchester United)
• Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
• Liam Rosenior (Chelsea)

United interim boss Michael Carrick makes an immediate impression, guiding the Red Devils to back-to-back wins over Manchester City and Arsenal in his brief January spell.

At Nottingham Forest, Sean Dyche steadied the ship after a worrying run of four straight defeats. His side responded with two wins and a draw, suffering just one loss against Aston Villa.

Andoni Iraola also turned Bournemouth’s fortunes around. After enduring an 11-match winless run, the Cherries sparked into life with a dramatic 3–2 victory over Tottenham, followed by further wins against Liverpool and Wolves.

Chelsea’s Liam Rosenior rounds off the list after a dream start to his Premier League tenure. Victories over Brentford, Crystal Palace, and West Ham made him only the fourth English manager to win his first three league games.

With new names dominating both shortlists, January’s awards promise fresh winners and plenty of debate among fans before the final verdict is announced.

The Premier League has finally lifted the curtain on the standout performers of November 2025, and the spotlight has fallen on two men who shaped the month with brilliance: Brentford’s rising star Igor Thiago and Chelsea’s mastermind Enzo Maresca.

For Thiago, this honour feels like the story of a breakthrough season being written in real time. The Brazilian striker has been on a tear, rattling in 11 goals in just 15 league matches. Five of those came in November alone, enough to place him right behind goal machine Erling Haaland on the scoring chart.

In the process, he etched his name into Brentford’s history books as the first-ever Bees player to win the Premier League’s Player of the Month award.

“It means so much to me,” Thiago said with a smile that matched the moment. “I’m really happy to receive this because it means my hard work on the pitch has paid off. I’m surprised! But hopefully I can receive more of these this season. I’m so happy and proud of myself.”

His victory came from a crowded field of nominees including Harvey Barnes, Bruno Fernandes, Jérémy Doku, Declan Rice, and Reece James—but November simply belonged to Igor Thiago.

• Maresca Named Manager of the Month

On the dugout side of the story, November also treated Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca kindly. The Italian tactician guided the Blues through a stellar month, collecting 10 points, the highest of any team, and securing his second Manager of the Month award of the campaign.

Chelsea’s November run had everything: a gritty win over Spurs, composed victories against Wolves and Burnley, and a memorable showdown with Arsenal that ended in a brave, hard-fought draw—even after Chelsea went down to ten men.

“This kind of thing happens when you do the right things,” Maresca reflected. “Performances and results were fantastic.”

This triumph marks his return to the award since September 2024 and makes him the fourth different manager to be honoured this season.

His fellow nominees included Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Pep Guardiola, Fabian Hürzeler, and Marco Silva—but Maresca’s Chelsea looked the sharpest of the pack throughout the month.

While the managerial award is guaranteed to go to a third different winner, all eyes are on the players’ side, where a familiar name is looking to claim back-to-back honours among a stacked list of eight stars.

Aston Villa’s Matty Cash was instrumental in his team’s October revival, producing match-winning moments at both ends of the pitch. His second goal of the season came in a statement win over Manchester City, following a decisive assist in the victory against Tottenham.

At Newcastle, Bruno Guimarães once again showed why he’s the heartbeat of Eddie Howe’s midfield. His long-range stunner against Nottingham Forest and a last-gasp winner versus Fulham ensured the Magpies’ steady climb up the table.

Erling Haaland, last month’s Player of the Month, continues to be a force of nature. Three goals in three games brought his total to 11 for the campaign — a figure that dwarfs his teammates’ combined tally. Few would bet against him doubling up on the award.

Over at Bournemouth, 19-year-old Junior Kroupi enjoyed a breakout month. The summer signing announced himself with a brace on his first Premier League start against Crystal Palace, then added another goal against Nottingham Forest to push the Cherries up to second place.

Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo has been a revelation under Ruben Amorim. With three goals and an assist, he led the Red Devils to a flawless October — their best run in months — and reignited belief among fans at Old Trafford.

For Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland’s surprise summer signing, October was about dominance and discipline. His defensive prowess was key to the Black Cats’ resilience, while his long throws caused chaos in opposing boxes — not to mention his crucial goal against Wolves.

Igor Thiago continued his hot streak for Brentford, adding two more goals to his tally and climbing to second in the Golden Boot race. His powerful display against West Ham and clinical penalty against Liverpool kept the Bees buzzing.

Finally, Jurriën Timber’s influence at Arsenal cannot be overstated. The Dutchman has reinvented himself as one of the league’s most consistent full-backs, anchoring a Gunners defence that didn’t concede a single goal all month — a record-breaking feat.

October 2025 Premier League Manager of the Month Nominees

• Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)

Manchester United’s new boss, Ruben Amorim, makes his first appearance on the shortlist after guiding his side to three straight wins over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton. The Portuguese tactician seems to be settling in fast, blending energy, structure, and attacking flair.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta continues to mastermind Arsenal’s push for the title. The Gunners finished October unbeaten, boasting the tightest defence in the league and holding a four-point lead at the top of the table.

For Unai Emery, the turnaround at Aston Villa has been remarkable. After a shaky start to the season, his side produced a perfect month — taking down Burnley, Tottenham, and even champions Manchester City — to surge back into form.

And then there’s Andoni Iraola, the architect of Bournemouth’s fairytale rise. The Cherries ended October sitting second in the Premier League, with wins over Fulham and Forest, plus a gutsy draw against Crystal Palace.

Manchester United have finally landed their man, confirming the signing of Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford after a lengthy and intense transfer saga.

The 25-year-old joins the Red Devils in a deal reportedly worth up to £71 million (\$95.5 million), making him one of the club’s most expensive acquisitions ever.

The former Brentford talisman has signed a contract that runs until 2030, with an option for a further year.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Mbeumo expressed his deep desire to play for United, describing the move as a dream come true.

“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up,” Mbeumo said.

“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players. Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future.”

He also praised new United head coach Ruben Amorim, whom he hopes to learn from as he settles into life at Old Trafford.

United’s Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, was full of praise for the Cameroon international, noting his impressive numbers in the Premier League over the last few seasons.

“Bryan’s goals and assists record in the Premier League is exceptional,” Wilcox said. “His remarkable consistency has put him amongst the most productive players in England. His belief in our project and his determination to join confirmed that he was the perfect fit for Manchester United.”

“We are delighted to have secured another one of our primary targets ahead of the pre-season tour. The experience in the US will be the perfect opportunity for Bryan to work with Ruben and his new team-mates as we prepare for an exciting season ahead.”

Mbeumo is expected to link up with the squad ahead of United’s pre-season tour of the United States, where he’ll begin adapting to the club’s new tactical system under Amorim.

Following a disappointing campaign that saw Manchester United finish 15th, five spots behind Brentford—the pressure is on Mbeumo to help revitalize the attack.

With 20 Premier League goals last season, expectations are high that the winger can help restore United’s status as a top contender.

Bienvenue, Bryan 🫡

Arsenal have officially announced the signing of Christian Norgaard from fellow Premier League side Brentford, making the Danish midfielder their third signing of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Norgaard joins the Gunners on a two-year contract, following in the footsteps of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi, as Mikel Arteta strengthens his squad for a renewed Premier League title challenge and a deep run in the UEFA Champions League.

The 31-year-old leaves Brentford after six influential seasons, during which he helped the Bees secure promotion to the top flight in 2021 and establish themselves as a consistent Premier League side. Norgaard made 196 appearances for Brentford, including 34 starts last season, earning praise for his leadership and consistency in midfield.

“You can get almost emotional because maybe it was a dream that I’d given a little bit up on coming towards the later stage in my career,” he said.

“I’ve just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford. Of course, there’s always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.

“Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It’s a childhood dream and something I didn’t think would be possible. So it’s something I’m really, really happy about.”

Arsenal commenced pre-season training on July 15, and Norgaard is expected to link up with the first team immediately, giving him ample time to integrate into the squad before their pre-season tour of Asia.

With Arteta aiming to add experience and depth to a side that finished just short of Premier League glory last season, Norgaard’s arrival brings leadership, versatility, and top-flight experience to Arsenal’s midfield as they gear up for a crucial 2025/26 campaign.

Unsurprisingly, Liverpool dominates the list after a commanding title-winning season, ending Manchester City’s five-year grip on the award.

The reigning champions failed to produce a single nominee this time around following a disappointing showing.

Meanwhile, five standout managers are also in the running for top honors, with Pep Guardiola expected to surrender the crown after back-to-back wins.

• Player of the Season Nominees—2024/25

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
Gibbs-White has emerged as the creative heartbeat of a Forest side that unexpectedly challenged for European qualification. With consistent top-tier performances, he’s caught the eye of clubs like Manchester City and earned a spot in England’s squad.

Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
Few would have predicted Gravenberch’s transformation into a midfield mainstay under Arne Slot. Once facing uncertainty over his Liverpool future, he played every league game in their title-winning run, operating as a deep-lying playmaker and delivering crucial contributions—including four assists.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
With 23 goals and counting, Isak sits second in the Premier League scoring charts. His electric form has Newcastle placing a staggering £150 million valuation on the Swedish striker as interest builds ahead of the summer.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
Stepping up in the wake of Ivan Toney’s exit, Mbeumo has excelled in both central and wide roles. With 18 goals and seven assists, the Frenchman has been a driving force behind Brentford’s most impressive season to date.

Declan Rice (Arsenal)
A rare constant in Arsenal’s rollercoaster campaign, Rice has blended his trademark defensive prowess with newfound creativity. His leadership has not gone unnoticed, as he remains one of Arteta’s most indispensable assets.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
A tour de force in Liverpool’s charge to the title, Salah has racked up a phenomenal 28 goals and 18 assists. Amid ongoing speculation about his future, he’s delivered one of the finest individual seasons in Premier League history.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
Returning to his dominant best, Van Dijk has anchored the league’s most formidable defense. The Dutch captain, previously named Player of the Season in 2018/19, has been pivotal in Liverpool’s resurgence under new management.

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)
Defying expectations at 33, Wood has netted 20 league goals, propelling Forest up the table. His clinical edge and veteran presence have been vital in one of the league’s most surprising campaigns.

• Manager of the Season Nominees – 2024/25

Thomas Frank (Brentford)
Leading Brentford to a record-breaking finish, Frank has orchestrated a high-scoring, fearless side that consistently punches above its weight—despite relegation fears just a year ago.

Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)
Howe has taken Newcastle to heights they haven’t seen since 1997, firmly placing them in the Champions League conversation and guiding them to a likely second-place finish.

Nuno Espirito Santo (Nottingham Forest)
With two of his players up for Player of the Season, it’s only fitting Nuno gets recognition. Turning a mid-table squad into a dark horse title challenger, he’s led Forest to a stunning European push.

Vitor Pereira (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Appointed in December with Wolves languishing in 19th, Pereira masterminded a remarkable turnaround. With 10 wins in 20 games, he’s become a fan favorite and savior at Molineux.

Arne Slot (Liverpool)
Slot took over from club legend Jürgen Klopp—and instead of a transition year, delivered the title with flair. With the most goals scored and only two defeats all season, the Dutchman’s debut campaign has been nothing short of masterful.

No player in the Premier League scored more goals in January than Phil Foden, who has rediscovered top form for Manchester City. The dynamic midfielder found the net six times in just four games against West Ham, Brentford, Ipswich, and Chelsea, also providing an assist against Kieran McKenna’s side.

In defense, Bournemouth’s highly sought-after center-back Dean Huijsen earns a nomination after making an immediate impact. Since his introduction to the starting lineup, the Cherries have gone unbeaten, securing victories over Everton, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest while drawing against Chelsea. His teammate Justin Kluivert also shined, registering five goals and two assists.

Reigning Player of the Month Alexander Isak is aiming to defend his crown following an electrifying January for Newcastle United. The Swedish striker bagged five goals, bringing his season tally to 17 in just 21 appearances, while also recording his fifth assist of the campaign.

Frank Onyeka has etched his name in Nigerian football history within the Premier League. Onyeka’s decisive goal marked Brentford’s breakthrough as they halted a nine-match winless streak, adding to Sheffield United’s woes.

The Nigerian talent, Frank Onyeka, made a pivotal impact coming off the bench, securing a crucial 2-0 victory for Brentford in their Premier League clash at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

This significant goal represents Onyeka’s maiden strike in the Premier League, fortifying the Bees‘ position as they strive to distance themselves from the relegation battle.

Entering the match after a nine-game winless streak, Brentford faced a Sheffield United side destined for relegation, setting the stage for a favorable encounter.

Under Thomas Frank’s leadership, Brentford initiated the game aggressively. However, it was Sheffield United who initially threatened, with Yasser Larouci failing to capitalize on a delivery from Gustavo Hammer. Brereton Diaz also posed a challenge, but his attempt was thwarted by goalkeeper Mark Flekeen.

Despite Brentford’s dominance, they struggled to break the deadlock in the first half.

The second half commenced with Brentford asserting control from the outset. Although an initial goal by Zanka was disallowed due to offside, Brentford capitalized on their momentum, taking the lead through an own goal from Oliver Arblaster just after the hour mark.

This breakthrough eased tensions within the stadium, but Brentford remained relentless in pursuit of a second goal to secure the victory. While Mikkel Damsgaard appeared to have sealed the win, his goal was disallowed following a VAR review.

With time dwindling, manager Thomas Frank introduced Onyeka in the 90th minute to bolster Brentford’s defensive efforts. However, Onyeka exceeded expectations by clinching the win with a superb finish, capitalizing on a delivery from Kevin Schade.

Onyeka’s maiden league goal for Brentford not only signifies a personal milestone but also elevates him to the esteemed ranks of the 42nd Nigerian to score in the Premier League.
