\nManchester United have announced the three players who will battle it out against each other for the club’s April Player of the Month award.<\/p>\n

United played six matches across all competitions. In this period, Erik ten Hag’s men recorded two victories, one loss and three draws – the most recent one of which was the 1-1 against Burnley at Old Trafford last weekend.<\/p>\n

Club captain Bruno Fernandes is competing to win the prestigious award<\/a> against teammates Alejandro Garnacho and Harry Maguire<\/p>\n

Fernandes has enjoyed a sensational April that saw him bag an impressive seven goals and two assists in the six games he featured.<\/p>\n

The Portugal international found the back of the net against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final and also grabbed braces vs. Bournemouth and Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

Such was the level of Fernandes’ impact on the team in April that he was named man-of-the-match on three of the six occasions United faced off against their opponents.<\/p>\n

Three of Fernandes’ goals are also in the running to claim United’s Goal of the Month prize<\/a> too. These are his headed finish at Chelsea, his fantastic strike from the halfway line against Liverpool and finally the rocket he produced in the 4-2 triumph over Premier League strugglers Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

Garnacho capped the month with two goals and one assist in the six games he featured. The 19-year-old is on the three-man shortlist for a Player of the Month award for the second consecutive month, in what is shaping up to be a very productive individual campaign for him.<\/p>\n

The Argentine winger kicked off April with a double against Chelsea and it was very unfortunate that he was part of the losing side on that occasion. One of his goals – the headed finish he came up with from Antony’s sublime trivela assist – is an entry in United’s shortlist for the Goal of the Month award.<\/p>\n

His assist was for Maguire’s equalising goal vs. the Blades which paved the way for United to complete a sensational comeback.<\/p>\n

In Marcus Rashford’s absence due to injury in the Reds’ last two games, Garnacho really stepped up and stood up to be counted.<\/p>\n

Finally, Maguire also scored two goals against Coventry City and then in the next game vs. Sheffield. Unsurprisingly, both were headed finishes.<\/p>\n

It may go unnoticed but Maguire was available to Ten Hag for selection amidst a crippling injury crisis that forced him to mostly play alongside Casemiro at the heart of the team’s backline. The England international barely put a foot wrong.<\/p>\n

United will announce the winner of the Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards on Friday.<\/p>\n
