Rashford wins Goal of the Month
Marcus Rashford’s dramatic stoppage-time winner against West Ham United has been named Manchester United’s Goal of the Month for January.
Rashford was on hand at the back post to tap home Edinson Cavani’s cross, with just seconds left of what had been until then a frustrating afternoon for Ralf Rangnick’s Reds.
The finish itself may not have been eye-catching or era-defining, but the scenes it sparked inside a buoyant Old Trafford will stick in the mind and have helped Marcus to claim the award, voted for by fans.
When Rashford raised the roof at Old Trafford
Our Goal of the Month for January 2022 is Marcus Rashford’s late, late winner against West Ham…
Marcus finished just one percentage point clear of team-mate Bruno Fernandes, who was nominated for the second goal of his brace against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Anthony Elanga (v Brentford) and Scott McTominay (v Aston Villa) were also popular choices but the sheer drama of Rashford’s strike stuck in the mind for many.
It was Marcus’s fourth injury-time Premier League winner, which is both a league and a United record.
Our no.10 is the sixth different Goal-of-the-Month winner of this season already.
Marcus follows on from Fernandes, Alex Telles, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Fred and you can see more about each of those goals in the links below.
Well done, Rashy!
