Tuesday 02 April 2024 15:00

Three players are in contention to win United Women's March Player of the Month award, and you can have your say now.

After a month where Marc Skinner's team won three times, drew once and lost on one occasion, we have devised a shortlist of the standout performers.

Lucia Garcia, Lisa Naalsund and Millie Turner are all nominated for our monthly award, but only one can win..

Read about their contributions in March below, and then cast your vote... 

LUCIA GARCIA

5 apps | 1 assist | 1 goal

Lucia was dynamic and energetic throughout March, getting on the scoresheet in our 4-0 FA Cup win at Brighton and providing the assist for the first of Lisa Naalsund's brace in the 2-0 WSL victory over Bristol City the following week.

After coming on as a substitute in our first match of the month, the 1-1 draw at West Ham, Lucia started the next four in succession and was a key threat down the wings for the Reds.

The Spain international was in the right place at the right time to turn home against the Seagulls, after Melvine Malard struck the post at Brighton, and knocked the ball into the path of Naalsund for the midfielder's superb solo opener against Bristol City.

LISA NAALSUND

5 apps | 3 goals | 1 assist

Lisa found the net three times in just five games across March, starting all but one of our matches.

The Norway international grabbed one of our goals against Brighton and scored a brace against Bristol City eight days later - her first and second WSL finishes.

Naalsund and Katie Zelem formed a strong partnership in the engine room across March and Lisa ended the month by providing a smart assist for Ella Toone's second goal in the 4-1 victory over Everton - Ella's 51st in a United shirt.

MILLIE TURNER

March was a positive month for Millie, with the centre-back keeping her place in the England squad for the upcoming international break, such was the standard of her displays.

The defender found the net twice, scoring after eight minutes at Brighton, and added her second of the month by hauling United level with a header in our eventual 4-1 comeback win over Everton.

What's more, Turner was a key part of the Reds defence that kept consecutive clean sheets versus the Seagulls and Bristol City, as United progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and moved back into fourth in the WSL table.

Now you have seen the candidates, you can have your say. Vote in our poll below.
