\nThree of Manchester United’s players are in contention to scoop the Premier League’s monthly awards despite the club’s barren spell in April.<\/p>\n

April saw United play five top-flight games. In that period, the Red Devils managed just one win, drew three and lost one.<\/p>\n

The club’s only victory was a 4-2 triumph against strugglers Sheffield United, whose relegation has since been confirmed.<\/p>\n

United captain, Bruno Fernandes, is in the running to win the Premier League’s April Player of the Month Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Portugal international was sensational last month and registered six goals in England’s top division. He also managed one assist.<\/p>\n

The skipper found the back of the net against Chelsea and Chelsea before grabbing a brace in the next match vs. Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n

He picked up where he left off when United made their way to Wembley to take on Championship outfit Coventry City in the semi-final of the FA Cup. On that occasion, Fernandes scored United’s third in regular time.<\/p>\n

He then went on to get another double as United overcame the Blades at Old Trafford. It’s also in that match that he got his assist, for Rasmus Hojlund’s late strike.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old will need to ward off competition for the Player of the Month award from Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), Kai Havertz (Arsenal), Jordan Pickford (Everton) and Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City).<\/p>\n

Andre Onana and Kobbie Mainoo joined their teammate Fernandes in being nominated for a Premier League prize<\/a> due to their April displays.<\/p>\n

The superb Mainoo is on an eight-strong shortlist for Goal of the Month, following his stunning curling effort against Liverpool on 7th April.<\/p>\n

Mainoo’s goal drew comparisons to Federico Macheda’s famous winning strike<\/a> vs. Aston Villa almost 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Onana is a candidate to claim the Save of the Month accolade after he produced a wonderful one-handed stop to prevent a powerful shot from Burnley’s Lyle Foster from going in.<\/p>\n

United return to action on Monday when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Oliver Glasners Crystal Palace side.<\/p>\n
