Hojlund Voted Premier League Player Of The Month For February
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been voted as the Premier League's player of the month for February.
A number of great Danes have lighted up the Premier League in past years but Hojlund is the first player from the Scandinavian country to win the player of the month award.
Hojlund came out on top in a seven-man shortlist that included Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Ollie Watkins, Joao Gomes, Rodrigo Muniz and Pascal Gross.
Hojlund hit a hot streak in February, scoring five goals and recording one assist. At 21, he became the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six straight top flight games.
“I’m very happy,” Hojlund told the club media.
“Of course, it’s a big privilege to get this award, especially with the other contenders who were nominated as well.
“So yeah, I’m very grateful and happy for the award.”
The former Atalanta striker is the second Manchester United player to win player of the month this season after Harry Maguire in November.
Elsewhere, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta beat Erik Ten Hag and Pep Guardiola to win manager of the month award.
