There have been a number of excellent performers during a busy and successful run for the Reds but Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have all made the three-man shortlist to be named our star man for the month.
Read about the nominees and cast your vote for the winner...
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 7 appearances, 6 goals
The no.9 has continued his irrepressible form in his first season at Old Trafford with several crucial goals during the busiest month of the campaign. After netting against Everton and Zorya Luhansk, our top scorer struck the late winner at Crystal Palace and a well-taken brace at West Bromwich Albion. He then fired the decisive second goal in the Boxing Day success over Sunderland, before setting up Anthony Martial's crucial equaliser against Middlesbrough on New Year's Eve with a cute header.
Paul Pogba: 7 appearances, 2 goals
The dynamic Frenchman earned plenty of plaudits for his influential displays in the final month of 2016. Having firmly established himself in Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up, the midfielder capped a positive performance at Selhurst Park with the important breakthrough on the stroke of half-time, before heading the dramatic winner against Boro – his sixth goal of an impressive season so far.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan: 7 (1) appearances, 3 goals
The Armenian won’t forget December in a hurry, as it was the month in which he netted his first three goals for the club – including the memorable Goal of the Season contender against Sunderland. Despite being sidelined for a spell with an ankle injury, the summer signing still enjoyed a month to remember and has quickly established himself as a firm favourite among Reds supporters.
