Omari Forson, the English-born Ghanaian forward representing Manchester United, has received a nomination for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for September.
The 19-year-old midfielder’s remarkable displays throughout the month have earned him a place on the shortlist.
In September, Forson found the net in each of Manchester United’s three league matches and also scored in the Papa Johns Trophy match against Bolton Wanderers. His impressive goal-scoring spree included a memorable strike against Sunderland in a thrilling 5-5 draw.
Forson’s goal against Sunderland showcased his skill and composure as he executed two precise cuts, first with his right foot and then with his left, before calmly placing the ball into the far corner.
In another standout performance, Forson delivered a powerful half-volley against Blackburn Rovers, contributing to Manchester United’s 5-2 victory.
Forson faces stiff competition from other talented players on the Premier League 2 Player of the Month shortlist, including Luca Barrington and Mark O’Mahony from Brighton & Hove Albion, Alfie Dorrington from Tottenham, Harry Gardiner from Sunderland, Callum Kavanagh from Middlesbrough, Callum Marshall from West Ham United, and Tommi O’Reilly from Aston Villa.
The nominees were selected by the Premier League Football Development Panel, with PL2 club coaches nominating the most outstanding performances by opponents in their divisional matches throughout September.
