Last time in Hull you were in tears. I said never again.
When was the last time we scored a truly great goal?
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
We don't really have a player like Rooney who guaranteed you a wonder goal every season
Pogba against Swansea was pretty cool. Great technique.
Martial against Stoke a couple of years back. Nice team goal with a great finish.

Rashford's penalty.
The last good goal we scored was Scholes' vs Barcelona. And that was shinned too. @Solius
Awww..
I thought Rashford's 2nd v Chelsea this season was a great goal. I love the power he gets on it and the pass is unbelievable from Pogba.
The reason it seems like we don't score as many great goals as other teams is because our players are obsessed with scoring amazing goals (constant pointless flicks and Rashford shooting from everywhere), so we're essentially constantly reminded about all these great goals we're not scoring.
I feel like this goal has gone largely forgotten, it was amazing technically, particularly considering he was still 18 at the time.
I also really like his first goal against Liverpool at home in 2017 18 when he cut inside and lashed it into the net; was my favourite moment of that season.
Martial against Stoke was a great goal

How has nobody not mentioned Tony V's screamer against Everton?? 
Mkhitarian’s was fantastic, irrespective of it not being called offside, and particularly irrespective of Giroud scoring a week later. In addition, Mkhis was more Cantonaesque, conscious geniality, while Giroud’s was more of a lucky punt, a reflex that just hit the TV spot.
I’ve a particular taste for dramatical flair goals like Berba scored a few of vs Liverpool for us, but in terms of technical/tactical completion and undefendability, the Pocba to Rashford vs Chelsea are as good as they come, and certainly more impressive than most overhead kicks and half way line goals.
Matic against Palace
Juanfield, the scissor kick.
Yep the one against liverpool aswell was amazing. He has given me Brazilian Ronaldo vibes at times but in all honesty I'm not yet convinced that he is consistent enough.
One thing that does irritate me is his free kicks - he uses the same, almost identical stance to C Ronaldo but he simply isn't a dead ball specialist imo.
This one is pretty good.
Surprised no one has mentioned this so far, pretty memorable to me.

Jesse Lingard's match clinching goal away to Watford(2017/18)
No mention for Martial’s debut goal vs Liverpool?
WTF? We've scored plenty of great goals even in recent times. And as a team goal that Martial goal vs Cardiff is pretty much as good as they come. City don't score like that every week don't be silly. As for Pereira's goal, well I agree, it was a very good goal but not "truly great". Mkhitaryan's scorpion kick goal was truly a great goal, better than Giroud's imo. But that was friggin ages ago, we've scored several since then.
Valencia's screamer against Everton comes to mind. Matic's winner against Palace, especially considering how late it was. Young's free kick against Watford a while back was friggin majestic, what a free kick!
What a negative post.

This.
We've scored lots of great goals in recent years, not sure what the OP is on about?
Pogba's goal as well in this video was good too.

Depending on what you would class as a great goal.
To be honest, in the position United are in, I really couldn't care less how a goal is scored.

Have a soft spot for this one. Practised. Precise. They didn't view Blind as a threat. Got punished.
But you have to go back to 2011 for anything Puskas worthy.
I like this goal but he has another one vs Stoke and one against Everton where the difficulty of what he does for me makes them great goals. I think they are both assists from Pogba where Pogba lays it across the18 yard line but in one of them the ball is travelling much faster and Martial takes it on first time and whips it in to the corner.
What's the definition of a great goal? A great individual goal or a great team work goal?
Rooney's overhead winner against Shity.
Yep another magnificent goal (Rooney's).
If this one or Martial's goals Vs Liverpool/Everton/Stoke are scored by, let's say, Henry is a title winning season for Arsenal, the perception changes to that of an iconic goal.

Van Persie's Volley from Rooney's pass is another great goal.
Haha, and after all he had was 'How!?'Filth.
As Villa currently playing, opportunity to remember this. Never gets old..... Better than the Bradford one imo.
Commentator lost for words for a second..

Wasn't particularly amazing but Pogba's first goal against City when we came back from 2-0 to win 3-2 was quite inventive.
Last time on Monday.
Pogba's pass to Rashford in the first game of the season (Chelsea).
The (magnificent) pass, first touch ball control and pinpoint shot in the corner of the net.

Mlhitaryan scorpion was better in my book than the Giroud one. The Giroud goal looked spectacular because it went in of the bar. But, I reckon any of us could think to try that in a match and many probably have. You might even get lucky when you throw your leg behind you like that and the ball goes in. Mkhitaryan’s one always seemed much more controlled in my eyes
A lot of people, according to this thread. Great goals are better than "ok" goals.
