Odion Ighalo has won Manchester United’s March Goal-of-the-Month award, for his sparkling effort against LASK in the Europa League.
The Nigerian’s driven shot to open the scoring against the Austrians, after some skilled ball juggling in the build-up, took home 32 per cent of your votes in our Official App.
Ighalo narrowly beat off fierce competition from Scott McTominay, whose memorable late goal against Manchester City received 26 per cent. Bruno Fernandes’s first strike from open play for the Reds, at Everton, finished third in the poll with 16 per cent.
Of course, March was cut short due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with the Reds’ games versus Tottenham Hotspur, LASK and Norwich City being postponed.
Although we’re sure United would have registered plenty of further goals should the month have continued as planned, it would have taken something special to beat Ighalo’s strike.
Congratulations, Odion!
