Nigeria-Eligible Striker Battles Cavani, Fernandes, 7 Others For Man Utd Goal Of The Month

Published: December 03, 2020

Manchester United November's Goal of the Month nominees have been revealed with teenage Nigeria-eligible striker Shola Shoretire making the cut.

Twelve outstanding strikes from first team, U18, U23 and Women's Team have been picked.

Joining Shoretire on the shortlist are Bruno Fernandes, who has been triple nominated for his efforts against Everton,
Istanbul Başakşehir and Southampton, Alvaro Fernandez, Alejandro Garnacho, Ella Toone, Isak Hansen, Tobin Heath, Anthony Elanga, Charlie Savage and Edinson Cavani.

Shoretire's brilliant strike in Manchester United's 4-2 win vs Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League 2 game on November 22 is up for the Goal of the Month award.

Thirteen minutes into the contest, the diminutive player opened the scoring with a bullet header past goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman as the Tottenham defenders failed to track his run.

It was the second goal scored by Shoretire for the U23s in November having opened his account for the age group in a 5-2 win at Brighton.

The 2004-born Shoretire is a first year scholar at the Red Devils and is expected to ink his first professional contract next year.
