September's FUN88 player of the month announced
Written by Dan King
Jamaal Lascelles has won the FUN88 player of the month award for September.
The United captain's excellent displays last month saw him nominated for the overall Premier League player of the month award, alongside the likes of Sergio Agüero, Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane.
And they also earned him a place on the three-man shortlist for the FUN88 monthly prize, along with Matt Ritchie and last month's winner, Mikel Merino.
Lascelles scored two winning goals, against Swansea and Stoke, while his defensive displays also caught the eye and he picked up 56 per cent of the vote. Thousands of supporters voted and Lascelles will be presented with his award ahead of Saturday's home game against Crystal Palace.
One lucky fan will get the chance to hand the prize over to Lascelles at St. James' Park at the weekend. The winner will be announced via FUN88's Twitter account, @fun88eng, on Thursday.
The winners of runners-up prizes of tickets to the game will also be announced by FUN88 shortly.
