Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says his Manager of the Month award is for the fans.

After being presented with the trophy at our London Colney training ground, Arteta was quick to acknowledge the contribution of others, especially the Arsenal fans.

"Obviously it gives me a sense of pride because I know how difficult it is to do it in this league," he said.

"But we've done that not only with coaching staff, but all the staff that are here at Colney. Obviously the players too have to perform and win football matches in order to be recognised for that.

"And then especially to our supporters. For the way they have transformed the team, they deserve a lot of credit. My gratitude goes to everybody who helps in their way, and in the best possible way to try to win football matches, which is the reason why we are here."
