Manchester United have officially announced the three players in contention for the club’s Player of the Month award for August, with Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford all receiving nominations.
The shortlist features a mix of experience and youth, highlighting three players who have played important roles for United during the opening stages of the season.
Bruno Fernandes continues to be one of the key figures in the Manchester United squad. As captain and one of the team’s most influential players, his performances are often central to the way the side creates chances and controls matches. His nomination reflects his importance to the team as United look to make a strong start to the campaign.
Kobbie Mainoo is also among the nominees after continuing to establish himself as an important member of the squad. The young midfielder has become increasingly trusted at the highest level, and another nomination for a monthly award underlines the expectations surrounding his development.
Marcus Rashford completes the shortlist. The forward remains one of United’s most recognisable attacking players, and his nomination gives supporters another reason to assess his contribution during the opening month of the campaign.
With three players offering different qualities and roles within the team, the final decision will ultimately come down to the supporters and their assessment of who made the biggest impact throughout August.
The nomination of Fernandes, Mainoo and Rashford also gives Manchester United fans an interesting choice between the club captain, one of its emerging young talents and an established attacking figure.
