Following a flawless October for his Manchester United team, Ruben Amorim is on the shortlist for the Premier League's Manager of the Month award.
After winning all three of our games this month—against Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton—the Reds have nine points from nine games.
Amorim is now receiving the credit he deserves after those results moved United up to sixth place in the table ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest this weekend.
By voting for the boss here, you may help him win the prize for the first time.
Amorim's team had ended a turbulent September with a tough 1-3 loss to Brentford on the road, but the Reds found their rhythm in October with three straight wins.
The first, a 2-0 victory over a high-flying Sunderland team at home, was a fitting reaction to the previously mentioned defeat in London and largely established the tone for the rest of the season.
The next time out at Anfield, Ruben executed his strategy flawlessly, as United defeated Brighton in the M16 last Saturday to continue their recent winning streak after defeating Liverpool on the road for the first time in nine years.
Because of those outcomes, United joined Arsenal and Aston Villa as the only three elite teams to post a perfect record in October.
Along with Amorim and Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth, whose squad won two games and were undefeated during the month, Mikel Arteta and Unai Emery are also nominated for the award.
The poll is currently open, and you have until Monday, November 3rd at 12:00 GMT to support Ruben with your choice. On Friday, November 7, at 12:00 GMT, the winner will be announced.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.
However, the summer acquisition, who has scored six goals for United since joining from Stuttgart in the summer, grabbed attention at the Amex Stadium with a superb improvised finish from Lewis Miley's low cross.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.
Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
