Manchester United fans have been voting in the monthly polls for player and goal of the month, with Brazilian duo Casemiro and Matheus Cunha coming out on top.
Winning two of a possible three matches in April, it proved to be an important month for Manchester United, as the Red Devils made a giant step towards securing a spot in the Champions League.
There was one setback in April as United suffered a 2-1 defeat against Leeds at Old Trafford on the night Lisandro Martinez was sent off for a slight tug on Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair.
When it comes to individuals, a few players stood out, but United fans have now had their say on the best performer and their favourite goal from April.

Casemiro scored a goal against the latter as he left the pitch teary-eyed following a warm ovation from the Old Trafford faithful, who sang about wanting him to stay another year.
In United’s Player of the Month poll, voted by the fans, Casemiro took 44% of the votes, as per ManUtd.com.
