Phelan, Sterling collect Premier League awards

A Premier League panel has selected Mike Phelan and Raheem Sterling as August's manager and player of the month.

Hull City caretaker Mike Phelan has won the Premier League's Manager of the Month award for August, with Manchester City's Raheem Sterling named Player of the Month.

Former Manchester United coach Phelan was appointed to the role at KCOM Stadium after Steve Bruce's resignation.

And, despite seeing his already threadbare squad hampered further by injuries, Phelan guided Hull to wins over champions Leicester City and Swansea City, before losing in stoppage time to United.

"I am honoured," he said.
