Lingard wins Goal of the Month award

Jesse Lingard’s eye-catching individual strike in the Community Shield win over Leicester City has been voted Manchester United’s Goal of the Month for August.

The forward embarked on a lightning dart into the Foxes' half at Wembley, dribbling past three markers before slotting past Kasper Schmeichel to open the scoring in a game the Reds went on to win 2-1.

Lingard's contribution attracted 56 per cent of the votes in ManUtd.com’s poll to finish ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s powerful maiden strike for the club, away to Bournemouth (13 per cent), and another dazzling solo effort - Callum Gribbin's goalfor a United Under-19 side against Barcelona in the Otten Cup (10 per cent).
