Man Utd gem Gabriele Biancheri up for award previously won by Phil Foden and Declan Rice

Bryan Mbeumo was recently named Premier League Player of the Month, while Amorim took home the Manager of the Month award.

October was a strong month overall for Man United, and Biancheri played his part at youth level.

Earlier today, the Premier League Football Development Panel announced its shortlist of eight nominees for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month, with Biancheri included among them.

The Wales U21 international picked up three goals and two assists in three matches this month, giving him a solid chance to claim the award.

If Biancheri does win the award, he will be in good company.

Alejandro Garnacho was nominated in 2022, while Phil Foden won it in 2017, not long after Declan Rice picked it up during his time at West Ham.

With United’s schedule set to pick up pace after the international break, Biancheri could push even harder for a first-team chance under Amorim.

The club opted not to loan him out this season, so getting into a matchday squad would show real trust from the staff in his readiness to play.
