Shoretire battles Garnacho, Fernandes, 6 others for Manchester United Goal of the Month 

Voting is now open for Manchester United's Goal of the Month award for November 2023, with ten stunning strikes to choose from. 

Newcastle-born Nigerian midfielder Shola Shoretire, who has captained the development squad in several games this season, is in the running for the monthly award. 

Shoretire has been starved of game time for the first team since Erik ten Hag took over the managerial reins at Old Trafford, but he has continued to impress for the U21s after missing out on a loan move in the summer. 

The Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year for 2020-2021 has been shortlisted for his brilliant goal against Everton in a Premier League 2 fixture on November 4 at Leigh Sports Village.

As the clock edged towards the half hour mark, Manchester United won a free-kick in a dangerous position on the edge of the box and up stepped Shoretire

The 19-year-old had the skill to put his strike under the Everton wall and outwit goalkeeper Fraser Barnsley to double the home team's advantage. 

Nine other strikes have also made it on to the list including efforts from club captain Bruno Fernandes who has been double nominated, Ella Toone, Millie Turner, Ethan Wheatley, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund, Nikita Parris and Anthony Martial. 

Shoretire has directly participated in nine goals (6 goals, 3 assists) in ten outings for United's development squad so far this season.
