Which goal was our best in March?

Bruno Fernandes has won Manchester United’s Goal of the Month for March.

Our captain was earlier crowned Player of the Month and it’s perhaps not a surprise that he’s claimed this prize too.

Of the seven efforts nominated in the poll, Bruno contributed four.

Old Trafford goals against Fulham, Arsenal and Real Sociedad made it into the shortlist, as did his late strike at Leicester City in our most recent outing.

Bruno’s stunning free-kick

MATCH MOMENT | Here’s your excuse to watch Bruno’s world-class free-kick all over again…

They were all great goals, but the free-kick that befuddled the Gunners was your clear favourite.

With the first half ticking to a conclusion, Alejandro Garnacho won the set-piece after being hacked down by Leandro Trossard, around 25 yards from goal.

Five blue shirts formed the wall, but all were bypassed by Bruno’s bending strike which rose then dipped before nestling in the net, giving David Raya no chance to intervene.

There was a lot of talk on Sky Sports about the distance referee Anthony Taylor measured out between the ball and the defenders – apparently 11.2 yards, rather than the standard 10 – but no-one can deny that this was a free-kick straight out of the top drawer.

It was the third our no.8 has registered for the club this season, with Leicester and Everton also on the end of his supreme dead-ball ability.

The free-kick at Goodison Park was our winner in this category for February, meaning it’s another clean sweep of awards for Fernandes – well done, Bruno!
