According to the online poll conducted by the official site of Manchester United, Paul Scholes is the player of August with a large margin. His game was at peak during all three games in august. He was perfect in wins against Newcastle united and Westham and scored a goal in drawn match against Fulham which makes his tally to 150 goals for united.
His nearest challenger in August, Dimitar Berbatov, polled 33 per cent of the vote, a nod towards his excellent start to the campaign. The Bulgarian scored three goals in four games, with Sir Alex saying, “this could be his year”. Nani (3 per cent), Nemanja Vidic (1.5 per cent) and Darren Fletcher (0.5 per cent) made up the other nominees, but nobody could touch Scholesy on the pitch.
