EMIRATES MVP FOR SEPTEMBER: DIEGO MOREIRA

It took just a few minutes for Diego Moreira to make his mark and just one month to win over the fans. The young winger has been named Emirates MVP for September, receiving approximately 50% of the votes cast on acmilan.com after a series of impressive performances for Amorim’s side. The award caps a positive month for AC Milan, unbeaten in the league throughout September, and underlines the strong impact made by the new arrival.

Moreira earned his place among the nominees largely thanks to his performance against Lazio. Coming on at halftime with AC Milan two goals down, he scored a brace in the space of just two minutes (65’ and 67’), to complete the comeback at the Olimpico. The two goals earned him Player of the Match honors and saw him set several records. At 22 years and 37 days old, he became AC Milan's youngest substitute to score more than one goal in a Serie A match since 2004/05, as well as the first Belgian player to do so for the Rossoneri.

But the No. 22's September was about much more than his brace in Rome. He found the net again in the next match against Lecce, scoring AC Milan's third in a 3-0 win at San Siro just four minutes after coming on. His record stands at three goals in his first three Serie A appearances, all scored off the bench. Those numbers underline the immediate impact of a player who, despite only recently joining the squad, has already made the most of every opportunity.

The other leading contenders also deserve recognition, with Cisse and Rabiot rounding out the top three in the vote among Rossoneri fans. For Diego, currently away on international duty, the aim will be to maintain this form when Serie A resumes and build on a start to the season that has already brought his first rewards in AC Milan colors.
