Alejandro Garnacho’s volley against Brentford has been nominated for the Premier League’s October Goal of the Month award.
The Argentina international evaded the attention of a couple of Bees defenders at the far post to coolly sidefoot home Marcus Rashford’s cross, during our 2-1 victory over Thomas Frank’s side earlier this month.
Garna’s goal came at a key time for the Reds, who were trailing at the break through Ethan Pinnock’s header.
But our no.17’s sidefooted strike arrived just 90 seconds into the second half and sparked a fightback, with Rasmus Hojlund’s similarly delightful dink later securing all three points in what would turn out to be Erik ten Hag’s final Old Trafford game at the helm.
Here’s another chance to watch Garnacho’s brilliant goal against Brentford.
Alejandro, who made his 100th United appearance at West Ham on Sunday, is bidding to claim this award for the second time in his short career.
He came out on top in November 2023, following his remarkable overhead kick at Everton – the same goal later claimed the league’s official Goal of the Season gong.
Garnacho’s goal is one of eight in the running, with Facundo Buonanotte, Ryan Christie, Jeremy Doku, Josko Gvardiol, Nicolas Jackson, Andreas Pereira and Bukayo Saka completing the shortlist.
You can vote for Alejandro now, via the Premier League’s official website.
Be quick – the polls close on Monday 4 November, with the winner being announced next Friday (8 November).
