Download Video: Manchester United Goal Of Month (August) 2024 Highlights

Alejandro Garnacho’s Community Shield opener against Manchester City has been voted as our men’s Goal of the Month for August 2024.

Having been introduced as a second-half substitute at Wembley Stadium, the forward fluidly took Bruno Fernandes’s outside-of-the-boot pass in his stride, drove inwards from the right flank and belted a low, left-footed strike back inside the near post.

The 82nd-minute deadlock-breaker unfortunately wasn’t enough for victory on the day, after Bernardo Silva’s late leveller forced a penalty shootout that City triumphed in, but the goal has retrospectively been appreciated by our fans as United’s best in the new season’s first month.

A majority 46 per cent of supporters voting in our poll on ManUtd.com and in the United App opted for Garnacho’s effort, ahead of Joshua Zirkzee’s debut goal against Fulham, and Amad’s equaliser at Brighton.

It means Alejandro takes the prize for the first time since his epic overhead kick versus Everton at Goodison Park claimed the spoils of November 2023’s vote.

This month’s result also ensures that our last two Goal of the Month winners have come in Manchester derbies at the national stadium, after Kobbie Mainoo’s FA Cup final winner at the end of last season was favoured for May’s prize.
Zirkzee’s heroics in this term’s Premier League opener against Fulham finished runner-up in our latest poll (32%), with Amad’s contender from Brighton’s Amex Stadium coming third (22%).

Earlier today, the latter was announced as our Player of the Month for August, having received the most selections in that vote, following his impressive start to the 2024/25 campaign.
