VOTE FOR UNITED'S GOAL OF THE MONTH
A memorable start to the new year for Manchester United has also featured plenty of eye-catching goals – eight of which make up our first Goal of the Month poll of 2018.
Anthony Martial heads our shortlist with three nominations, with his three strikes in successive Premier League games – a fine curler from the edge of the box to open the scoring at Everton, a well-placed finish into the top corner during the Reds' 3-0 win over Stoke City, and his clinical effort which proved decisive against Burnley.
Another pair of stunning goals from Jesse Lingard are also included as our irrepressible no.14 sealed the 2-0 success at Goodison Park on New Year’s Day with a driving run and terrific finish into the top corner from the edge of the area, before striking a wonder goal to break the deadlock against Derby County in the Emirates FA Cup four days later.
Antonio Valencia completes the first-team contenders with his wicked left-footed drive to score the opener for the Reds on his return to the team following a hamstring injury in the victory over Stoke on 15 January.
Meanwhile, two worthy goals from the Under-18s are also up for the award – an unstoppable first-time effort from Largie Ramazani in the 4-2 win at Stoke City and a cool finish from Tahith Chong when he took a Ramazani pass in his stride and rounded the keeper to score his second of the game in the 2-1 victory over Sunderland.
