Luke Shaw will face competition from two teammates for the Player of the Month award at Manchester United.
Before the Emirates FA Cup loss to Leicester City last time out, the classy left-back, who is with England ahead of the opening World Cup qualifier against San Marino at Wembley, was outstanding during March as the Reds went undefeated in five games, conceding just one goal.
Given the team’s defensive power, it’s no wonder that goalkeeper Dean Henderson and center-back Victor Lindelof have been nominated, with Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Mason Greenwood narrowly losing out on a spot on the three-man shortlist.
Here are the top three nominees’ performances in March:
Premier League: Chelsea vs Manchester United, Who will win
Dean Henderson has appeared in five matches for the English Premier League in the 2020/21 season (plus 1 as a sub). Dean Henderson averages 18 passes per game and has a 66 percent pass completion rate. He also has 0 assists. Dean Henderson has a total of two yellow cards and zeroes red cards. Dean Henderson’s average Infogol Player Rating in the English Premier League 2020/21 season is 6.65.
With goals prevented an average of 1.31 this season, Dean Henderson was projected to concede 1.31 goals for every goal he scored.

Appearances: 4.
Clean sheets: 3.
3) LUKE SHAW:
The February winner has been a driving force down the left-wing, scoring a remarkable goal in the Manchester derby, beating Ederson with a low finish. At the Etihad Stadium and again in the close win over West Ham, the England international was named Man of the Match.
Appearances: 4 (2).
Goals: 1.
Clean sheets: 4 (when starting).
Luke Shaw joined Manchester United from Southampton in June 2014, making him one of the Reds’ longest-serving players.
