The Spaniard has impressed since coming to England and after his first summer transfer window to make the team he wants, his Boro team look set to launch a promotion push. This is what the Football League had to say:
“Two away wins in four days at Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City set the tone for an unbeaten September which proved that Karanka has added attacking flair to the solid defensive base he established at the Riverside last season.”
