Marcus Rashford wins the Premier League Player of the Month award for February, equalling the record for most wins by one player in a single season.

"I couldn’t have done it without the rest of the boys and the staff. Marcus Rashford has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month for February, equalling the record for the most wins of the award by one player in a single season. Rashford is now the first player to win consecutive Player of the Month awards since Ilkay Gundogan did in early 2021, but perhaps more impressively, he moves level with Mohamed Salah for most wins in one season.

A debate is raging over who should wear the armband for Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford's name cropping up as a potential alternative to ...

[Bryan Robson](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/bryan-robson), [[Eric] Cantona](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/eric-cantona), that type, but he's the star player - he's been brilliant this season.

I'm happy to have Bruno Fernandes in the team and that he's captain when Harry isn’t on the pitch." Club captain [Harry Maguire](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) has spent most of this season on the bench, allowing Fernandes to lead United out for much of [Erik ten Hag](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag)'s first campaign as manager. As for Ten Hag's verdict, the United manager won't be stripping Fernandes of the armband any time soon. He's produced after coming out of a really difficult phase and he's obviously the future of this football club. Scholes took a different stance, however, admitting: "I don't really see him as a leader. Asked on Wednesday whether the Portuguese midfielder would remain vice-captain in spite of his display against Liverpool, Ten Hag replied: "Yes, definitely.

Marcus Rashford's red-hot form at Manchester United has seen him match a Premier League record held by Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

Rashford has now won four Player of the Month gongs in total, leaving him three adrift of Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane in the overall stakes. Rashford has become the first man to win back-to-back Premier League awards since Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan in January and February of 2021 and matches the three-trophy return of Egyptian superstar Salah from 2017-18. So impressive has the England international been that he has now collected three Premier League Player of the Month awards, with the latest of those – which recognises his exploits in February – seeing him draw level with Salah when it comes to the most monthly prizes earned in a single top-flight campaign.

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves says Marcus Rashford has the capabilities to become the future captain of the club - but Paul Scholes is ...

Rashford fronted up to the media ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash with Real Betis following the 7-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has scored five goals in seven matches in the Europa League this season.

"We started the second half well as well, with the two goals, and it's important to put us in a good place in the game. I knew I was going to go high [with the first goal] and it's always nice to start the game well and with a goal. We definitely started the game well, we had an offside goal and a had a couple of chances. "Four goals, so I'm pleased we can start the tie in the right way and obviously bounce back from the last game as well, so it's now about getting the momentum back that we had before Liverpool.

Marcus Rashford continued his scoring spree during Man United's Europa League win over Real Betis.

After almost a decade of someone trying to match Van Persie's status as being the last United player to hit 30, Rashford could be about to smash his way through that number at a canter. Though his goalscoring form has been the sole reason for that, he also deserves credit for his assists and willingness to operate in multiple positions. After the troubles he faced last year, nobody would have given the versatile attacker a chance of getting anywhere close to that number. It means Rashford, who has scored five times in the Europa League this season, is in a strong position to either match or surpass Van Persie's tally. His emphatic opener in Thursday night's 4-1 Europa League win over Real Betis marked his 26th goal of the season for United, meaning he is now closing in on the golden tally of 30. After being robbed of a pre-season because of surgery on his shoulder, Rashford regressed at such a rate last season that supporters were genuinely concerned for his welfare.
