Omar Marmoush shines bright with second Manchester City award

Omar Marmoush, the electrifying Egyptian attacker, has cemented his place in Manchester City folklore by clinching his second award since joining the Premier League giants.

The 26-year-old, who swapped Eintracht Frankfurt for the Etihad last winter, continues to dazzle fans with his flair and firepower. On 23 January 2025, Manchester City announced Marmoush’s arrival on a four-and-a-half-year deal for a reported £59 million. Just two days later, he marked his debut with a bang in a 3-1 home league triumph over Chelsea.

According to Manchester City’s official X account, Marmoush’s latest honor comes for the best goal of March—a rocket of a strike from outside the penalty area against Brighton in a thrilling 2-2 Premier League draw.

The goal outshone strong contenders, including Nico O’Reilly’s second against Plymouth, Tottenham reserve Auba Fogeno’s effort, and Khadija Bany-Shaw’s stunner against Aston Villa in the Women’s Super League.

Having already bagged February’s goal of the month award against Newcastle, Marmoush’s back-to-back wins signal his growing influence at City.
