Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has won the Premier League's Player of the Month award for February.
Hojlund continued his fine form last month and scored in each of United's four league games, firmly putting any doubts about him after his slow start to life in England to bed.
The Denmark international also became the youngest player ever to score in six successive Premier League matches having also netted in his two prior appearances.

Hojlund began February with a phenomenal all-round performance in United's dramatic 4-3 win at Wolves, scoring once and also providing an assist for Marcus Rashford.
He followed that up with the opening goal in United's 3-0 triumph over West Ham back at Old Trafford before breaking the deadlock in a crucial 2-1 win at top-four rivals Aston Villa a week later.
Hojlund's crowning moment came when he scored an early brace away at Luton Town, bagging the opener inside the first minute and then securing his brace in style. Alejandro Garnacho's mis-hit shot came spiralling towards Hojlund, who reacted quickly to chest the ball back towards goal to put United 2-0 up. Erik ten Hag's side would go on to win 2-1.
Unfortunately for Hojlund, he has missed United's last three games in all competitions after sustaining a muscle injury. The Red Devils have lost both of their Premier League matches in that time, falling 2-1 at home to Fulham before surrendering the lead in a 3-1 defeat to neighbours Manchester City. They did, however, secure progress to the sixth round of the FA Cup having seen off Nottingham Forest 1-0 late on at the City Ground, setting up a tie at home to rivals Liverpool.
