Wayne Rooney's first goal of the season was enough to earn the Reds' no.10 the Man of the Match award against AS Roma, as voted by ManUtd.com users, while Nemanja Vidic has been voted ManUtd.com's Player of the Month for September.
Rooney, whose second-half strike sealed a second 1-0 victory in this season's Champions League campaign, garnered 32 per cent of the vote, with Rio Ferdinand and Nani close behind.
But, while Rooney may have been the pick of the bunch on Tuesday, Vidic was rewarded for his outstanding displays in September with the ManUtd.com monthly accolade.
Almost 10,000 voters took part in the official player of the month poll, which pitted Vidic against Wes Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo, Louis Saha and Edwin van der Sar. It was tight, but in the end the Serbian centre-back emerged victorious with an impressive 30 per cent of the vote.
Edwin van der Sar, who didn't concede a goal all month and whose heroics kept United in the match against Sporting Lisbon, ran a close second on 27 per cent.
