Vote for December's Goal of the Month
December 2021 proved a rollercoaster month for Manchester United, from the arrival of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager to a series of postponed fixtures. But in the midst of all that, we saw several fantastic strikes.
There are 10 strikes nominated for December’s Goal of the Month, and it’s down to you to choose the best of the bunch.
Nine players are nominated for the award, with 17-year-old Alejandro Garnacho up for the gong twice with two wonderful goals.
The first is a mazy run against Blackburn Rovers U23s, while the second is an acrobatic finish in front of the Stretford End, scored in our Under-18s' comfortable FA Youth Cup win against Scunthorpe United.
