Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush has been shortlisted for the club’s Goal of the Month award for February following his standout performance against Newcastle United.
The Egyptian international, who netted a stunning hat-trick in that match, saw two of his goals make the final list of nominations.
Instant impact at Manchester City
Since joining the Premier League champions in January 2025, Marmoush has wasted no time in making his mark.
After a few games to settle in, he delivered a memorable performance on February 15, scoring three times in a 4-0 victory over Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.
It was a statement display that quickly endeared him to City supporters and underlined his attacking prowess.
Manchester City confirmed on Monday, March 3, that two of Marmoush’s goals from that match have been nominated for the club’s best goal of the month.
His first shortlisted effort came from an expertly timed run and finish after receiving a long pass from goalkeeper Ederson.
The second, his third goal of the night, was a masterful strike to complete a well-worked team move, showcasing City’s trademark fluid attacking play.
A season of excellence
Marmoush’s nomination is a testament to his form this season.
Across all competitions, the former Eintracht Frankfurt forward has already amassed 23 goals and 13 assists in 34 appearances.
His ability to both score and create has made him an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s attacking setup, and his seamless transition into English football has further cemented his reputation as one of Africa’s rising stars.
The Egyptian’s dynamic style, technical skill, and eye for goal have drawn praise from both fans and pundits.
His performance against Newcastle not only earned him a place in City’s history but also positioned him as a key player in their push for silverware this season.
Competition for the award
Marmoush faces stiff competition for the Goal of the Month award, with other nominees including top performances from City’s key players such as Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne.
However, given the significance and quality of his nominated strikes, he stands a strong chance of securing his first individual accolade in Manchester City colours.
As voting opens, supporters will have the chance to recognise Marmoush’s brilliance and reward his impact at the club.
Whether he claims the award or not, his performances suggest that this could be just the beginning of a highly successful spell at Manchester City.
