Phelan and Sterling win monthly awards

Hull's caretaker boss Mike Phelan has won the Premier League manager of the month award after his side's surprise start to the season.

Phelan, 53, took charge of the Tigers when Steve Bruce resigned in July after a breakdown in his relationship with vice-chairman Ehab Allam.

He has yet to be handed the job despite winning two of his opening three games while using just 13 players.

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling was named player of the month.

Phelan beat Jose Mourinho of Manchester United, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City and Chelsea's Antonio Conte to the manager award.
