Henrikh Mkhitaryan has won yet another Goal of the Month accolade at Manchester United, following his strike at Sunderland in April, the club’s official website informs.

The Armenian’s solo goal helped the Reds earn a 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light and it finished above closest rivals Marcus Rashford (against Anderlecht – 17%) and Matthew Olosunde (against Real Salt Lake – 14%) in our poll, by amassing 32 per cent of the vote. Zak Dearnley and Callum Gribbin were also nominated.

Remarkably, it means Mkhitaryan has landed the prize for the fourth time in the last five months. His scorpion kick, also against Sunderland, won in December; a breakaway effort in the Emirates FA Cup triumph over Wigan Athletic came out on top in January and, in February, his belter past Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel was voted best goal.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
