Manchester United fans voted to name Casemiro as their Player of the Month for September, with Bruno Fernandes' sumptuous volley at Burnley voted as Goal of the Month.
United endured a busy September with mixed results across all competitions, managing just two wins from their six games. Erik ten Hag's side kicked off the month with three straight defeats against Arsenal, Brighton and Bayern Munich before beating Burnley and Crystal Palace.
But what looked to be the beginning of a resurgence fell flat, with Palace returning to Old Trafford to win 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday. United ended the month having suffered their worst start to a season since 1989 - a record they then topped with Tuesday's defeat against Galatasaray.

Casemiro has struggled defensively throughout that period but played his part going forward, registering three goals and an assist in that time. The Brazilian was excellent in the Carabao Cup win over Palace, scoring the second before a fine cross set up Anthony Martial.
He also scored twice in a chaotic end to the 4-3 Champions League defeat at Bayern, with those goals earning him 70% of the vote. Fernandes came second with 21% while Diogo Dalot received 9% of the vote.
Fernandes did come through to take the Goal of the Month award for his outstanding winner at Turf Moor. The Reds captain latched on to a raking long ball from Jonny Evans to fire a volley past James Trafford from an angle - reminiscent of Robin van Persie's iconic volley against Aston Villa.
