Here at Manchester United, we tend to give brilliant, or matchwinning, goals our full ‘All the Angles’ treatment.
This season, there have been 360-degree views of Paul Pogba’s points-settling howitzer at Fulham, Edinson Cavani’s late Carabao Cup clincher versus Everton, Marcus Rashford’s electric counter-attacking strike against Brighton and much, much more.
However, when nine goals are scored in a match – as happened against Southampton on Tuesday – the task of highlighting one particular effort becomes a difficult one.
So, who better to ask than the fans? We did just that in a live poll yesterday, and we can now announce a clear winner, which can be seen in all its glory below…
Yes, Scott McTominay’s drive, which swiftly followed Anthony Martial’s roof-of-the-net strike, won out in our vote, and it’s no surprise why.
It was our no.39’s fifth goal of the season – matching his total from 2019/20 already – and shared some striking similarities with his opener against Leeds United in another convincing victory at Old Trafford, six weeks ago.
Against the Yorkshire outfit, Scott latched on to a Bruno Fernandes pass to sidefoot home from 20 yards out, with just a minute on the clock.
While his finish against the Saints - coming on to a loose clearance, again from well outside the box - didn't quite feature as much swerve, it still bamboozled visiting goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.
Scott is developing into a scorer of fine goals, as anyone who was at Old Trafford for last March's Manchester derby will attest!
