March Premier League Monthly Awards Celebrate Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle Stars

The Premier League has revealed the winners of its prestigious monthly awards for March 2026, celebrating exceptional performances across the league. Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Newcastle United's William Osula, and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale were the standouts, earning accolades for their remarkable contributions over the month.

Bruno Fernandes clinched the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award, equaling former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of six Player of the Month prizes. His stunning form included two goals and four assists in four league appearances, highlighting his all-around influence. Fernandes scored and assisted in United's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace and contributed key assists and a penalty goal thereafter. Remarkably, he lifted his season assist tally to 16, besting David Beckham's club record and nearing the Premier League’s all-time single-season assist record of 20, held by Thierry Henry and matched by Kevin De Bruyne.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta earned his eighth Barclays Manager of the Month award following a flawless March. The Gunners won all three of their league matches — victories over Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Everton — enabling them to open a commanding nine-point lead atop the table over Manchester City. Arteta's tactical decision to bring on 16-year-old Max Dowman against Everton proved pivotal, with the youngster assisting the opener and scoring the decisive second goal, becoming the Premier League’s youngest goalscorer. Arteta's win advances him to joint sixth on the all-time list for Manager of the Month awards, matching legends Martin O'Neill and Harry Redknapp.

Newcastle United midfielder William Osula secured the Guinness Goal of the Month award for his extraordinary 90th-minute winner against Manchester United while the Magpies were down to ten men. Osula’s curling strike from the edge of the box left goalkeeper Senne Lammens unable to respond, sealing a dramatic victory for Newcastle. Osula is the first Newcastle player to win the accolade this season since Alexander Isak in December 2024, and only the sixth Magpies player to earn the honor historically.

Newcastle's success continued with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale winning the Coca-Cola Save of the Month award for the third time in his career and first in nearly three years. Ramsdale produced a spectacular full-stretch save to deny Joshua Zirkzee’s long-range shot in the 89th minute, a crucial intervention that preserved Newcastle’s 2-1 lead over Manchester United. This save not only highlights Ramsdale’s top-class shot-stopping abilities but also cemented an awards double for Newcastle in March alongside Osula's goal.

These individual and managerial honors underscore the intense competition and exceptional talents shaping the Premier League’s 2025/26 season. With Fernandes closing in on an all-time assist record, Arteta steering Arsenal towards their first league title in over two decades, and Newcastle’s rising stars starring spectacularly, the stage is set for a captivating run-in to the campaign.
