Man Utd land double as Ibrahimovic & Mkhitaryan win Player & Goal of the Month awards

The striker scored five Premier League goals during December, while the Armenian netted a stunning scorpion kick against Sunderland

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month for December.

The 35-year-old scored five times and added three assists in six appearances over the course of the month.

United won five and drew another of those six games, with Ibrahimovic's league tally now up to 13 for the season, just one behind Chelsea's Diego Costa at the top of the scoring charts.

He is the first United player to win the award this season, with Raheem Sterling, Son Heung-min, Eden Hazard and Costa the previous winners.
