The month of March provided some sparkling football from Manchester United. The team won six of seven matches, including key victories against Lyon in Champions League and Liverpool in the English Premier League. Both results ensured that United can continue in there pursuit for both major titles.

Player of the Month is tabulated through a two step process. The first step is through nomination. This is done in order from the first player to the third player nominated for each match that United plays for the month. For each match, a point system from three points to one point is assigned to the first player nominated, down to the third player nominated (nominee 1 – 3 pts, nominee 2 – 2 pts, nominee 3 – 1 pt).

Depending on the number of matches per week, each match thread is opened for a period of 3-5 days for nominations. Afterwards, a poll is opened for voting of the top 3 nominees for a period of one week. This allows members to catch the match live or on replay to allow them sufficient time to carefully weigh in on there selections for nominations and final poll voting.

It is very important that United Zone Football Forum members not only weigh in and nominate players, but also make sure to vote.

Fourteen goals were scored and fine individual performances made nominations and voting for this months Player of The Month a real challenge.
