Phelan edges Mourinho, Guardiola for Premier League Manager award

Mike Phelan has beaten Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte to the Premier League Manager of the Month award for August.

Phelan, the caretaker manager at Hull City, won two games out of three to start the season, including an unexpected victory against champions Leicester City and a 2-0 win at Swansea, before narrowly losing a third, 1-0 to United.

The Tigers' feat has been all the more impressive considering they started the campaign with just 13 fit senior players.
