On receiving the trophy, Cushing said: “Thank you to the LMA panel for naming me the Women’s Super League Manager of the Month for December. I would also like to thank all the staff and players at Manchester City, who I could not have done this without.”
Chair of the League Managers Association panel Marieanne Spacey-Cale said: “Nick Cushing and his Manchester City team achieved two outstanding wins in December, which could prove pivotal in their challenge to win the Women’s Super League this season.
“The 2-0 victory over Arsenal means that City are now the only unbeaten side in the league and the tight 1-0 win over a strong Birmingham City side allowed them to close the gap at the top of the WSL, going in to the second half of the season.”
