Man United star Amad in contention for top Premier League award | OneFootball

Manchester United forward Amad’s goal during last month’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest has been shortlisted for the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award.

Amad rescues United against Forest

United headed into the meeting with Forest with a lot of confidence, having beaten Brighton and Hove Albion a week before.

Ruben Amorim’s men took the lead at the City Ground through Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder rose the highest to head home a cross from a corner-kick.

However, Forest flipped the game on its head after the restart.

Nicolò Savona capitalised on some pitiful defending from United to restore parity in the 48th minute of proceedings, before Morgan Gibbs-White handed the hosts the advantage just two minutes later.

Rocked by Forest’s quickfire turnaround, United appeared completely rattled and had no response as defeat loomed.

However, with nine minutes of regular time left on the clock, Amad stepped up. The 23-year-old brilliantly volleyed the ball through a sea of bodies and into the net from the edge of the area.

His fantastic strike ensured the Red Devils got a share of the spoils.

Amad vying for Premier League prize

Amad’s finish against Forest features on a list of eight other goals that are in contention to win the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award for November.

Other contestants are Illiman Ndiaye (Sunderland 1-1 Everton), Jeremy Doku (Man City 3-0 Liverpool), Yeremy Pino (Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace), Richarlison (Arsenal 4-1 Spurs), Tyler Adams (Sunderland 3-2 Bournemouth), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton 1-4 Newcastle) and Harry Wilson (Spurs 1-2 Fulham).

The Premier League note that the winner will be announced based on votes and choices from a panel of experts.

United are next in action on Monday evening when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux. Kick-off is at 8pm.
