Vote open: Men’s October Player of the Month

Following six matches across three different competitions in October, the vote to crown our latest Men’s Player of the Month is now open.

As a result of their key contributions to our latest half-dozen of Premier League, Europa League and Carabao Cup fixtures, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho and Andre Onana are vying for your pick as the nominees for the prize, presented by the club’s new global partner Tiger Beer.

Below, you can make your selection in the poll and remind yourself of how they each pitched in across the month via our player-by-player breakdown. Voting will close at 15:00 GMT on Saturday.

CASEMIRO
3 goals / 1 Man of the Match

While it’s not the primary facet of the Brazilian’s game, Casemiro has shown he has an eye for goal during his two-and-a-bit seasons as a Red, and he displayed that again in October.

The defensive midfielder, who impressed throughout the month, netted three times across our final two games: away to West Ham and at home to Leicester City.

After heading home a late equaliser in the eventual defeat to the Hammers, our no.18 was twice on target and voted Man of the Match in the cup thrashing of the Foxes, with the first of that scoring double – a spectacular long-range effort – likely to be a frontrunner for our men’s Goal of the Month prize, too. See the bottom of this article for more on that…

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO
2 goals / 1 assist / 1 Man of the Match

October 2024 will always be a landmark month for Garna, as he brought up his 100th United appearance during the trip to West Ham’s London Stadium.

A weekend earlier, the talented Academy graduate was voted by supporters as the star man in the 2-1 victory over Brentford, having brilliantly volleyed home our equaliser at Old Trafford.

Last time out, in the cup triumph over Leicester, Alejandro teed up Casemiro’s aforementioned worldie before getting on the scoresheet himself, sweeping home an inviting low cross from Diogo Dalot.

ANDRE ONANA
1 clean sheet / 1 Man of the Match

United’s Player of the Month for September continued to stand out in October, earning him a shot at retaining his award, as one of the three nominees for this month.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper rose to the top of the Premier League’s clean sheet rankings for 2024/25 by spearheading our shutout in the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa, but his best game of the month was arguably one in which our defence was breached.

Onana was unfortunate to concede after a commendable display in the 1-1 draw at Fenerbahce, which included a stunning show of agility in the first half to deny Youssef En-Nesyri twice in quick succession. Andre was subsequently chosen as our Man of the Match in Turkey.
