After a difficult first season in East Yorkshire, the north-easterner is impressively stepping up to the plate for the Tigers, who can go three points clear at the top of the table if they triumph in Friday's televised game at Fleetwood - as they seek a fifth straight league victory in 2020-21.

Hull's feats have yielded a richly-deserved League One manager of the month nomination for McCann for September, while Honeyman is one of four names vying for the players' monthly gong.

The winners will be announced on Friday morning.

McCann said: "It is not about me, but everybody mucking in and it is a collective effort, really.

"It is obviously nice to be recognized, but I am more pleased that George has been personally and one of my players has because I think he has started the season very well and looks a million dollars at the minute with the way he is playing.

"Everything we do here is about the team and everybody making sure we have a real collective effort.

"George has started the season really well; in fact he finished last season really well and has just taken it on to another level, really.

"He is enjoying the position he is playing in now and getting more of an understanding of it. Last season, it was a wee bit in and out for him and maybe tough in leaving Sunderland, a club he was at for his whole life and it probably took him time to adapt to coming to a new club.

"I think George would admit that himself. But I think he understands now and he is flying and every day in training, he is like a man possessed with the way he trains and runs and he is taking that onto the pitch at the moment."
