Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has won the Player of the Month prize for August after scoring six goals in his first three Premier League games. And in a Manchester double, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson took the prize of Manager of the Month after his side won all of their first three matches in the Premier League.
Dzeko joined City from Wolfsburg in January and struggled to adjust to life in the England, scoring just two league goals in four months but his form could not be more different in the early part of this season. The £27 million Bosnian netted in City’s opening fixtures against Swansea and Bolton before he struck four goals in the 5-1 demolition of Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
