Manchester United: Hojlund lands player of the month award

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for February – becoming the first Dane to win the award.

Hojlund is currently sidelined by injury but enjoyed a fine run of form prior to his setback, scoring five goals and assisting one last month.

The 21-year-old started February with a goal in the 4-3 win at Wolves and backed it up with a cracking finish in the 3-0 victory over West Ham three days later.

He also netted in the 2-1 defeat of Aston Villa as Erik ten Hag’s men continued to show signs of encouragement, and Hojlund rounded off his performances for the month with a brace as United won 2-1 at Luton.

Mikel Arteta landed the manager’s award after guiding Arsenal to four league wins in February, scoring 18 goals in the process.

Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Brentford tomorrow, Arteta said: “It’s a great honour in this league to get recognised in this way so I want to say thank you to the team and the staff for always being supportive and making this happen.”

Arsenal beat Liverpool, West Ham, Burnley and Newcastle to maintain their title challenge.

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo scored the goal of the month for his last-gasp winner at Wolves.
