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.
