Anthony Martial Wins Man Utd July 2020 Goal Of The Month Award

Anthony Martial has won the Manchester United Goal-of-the-Month award for the second time this season, with his audacious finish against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

In what is becoming his trademark move, the Frenchman cut inside from the left wing and bent a confident right-footed shot into the top corner, leaving the Cherries’ goalkeeper absolutely helpless. 

Martial’s effort against Bournemouth was one of his three nominations for the club’s monthly award, alongside a similar finish against Southampton and his brilliant winner at Crystal Palace. 

Anthony has taken home our prize for July 2020 by earning 36 per cent of all the votes that were cast in a poll via our Official App, beating off competition from nine other brilliant first-team strikes. 

Fans were spoilt for choice with our latest montage of nominated goals and three of those were scored by flourishing Academy graduate Mason Greenwood, highlighting his influence in July. 

The young striker has impressively finished third and second in the voting, which is a remarkable achievement in itself, with his powerful strike against Bournemouth taking the figurative bronze medal and his technically impressive second goal past the Cherries earning silver as well. 

Greenwood’s vital equaliser against West Ham at Old Trafford finished joint-ninth in the poll, which is perhaps a little harsh considering it set up our season-defining finale against Leicester City, where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Reds won 2-0 to secure third place and Champions League qualification.
