Congratulations Rashford

Rashford is United's Player of the Month

Marcus Rashford has been voted Manchester United’s Player of the Month for February after scoring two influential braces against Midtjylland and Arsenal in his first senior outings.

The 18-year-old Academy graduate earned 56 per cent of fan votes that were cast on ManUtd.com and the club’s official Twitter account @ManUtd, which was enough to claim the award ahead of his fellow nominees Memphis Depay (31 per cent) and Jesse Lingard (13 per cent).

Although Rashford only played in two of United’s seven fixtures in February, his impact on those must-win games in the Europa League and Barclays Premier League was unquestionable. Without his four goals (and one assist) the Reds could be out of Europe and further away from a top four finish.

The striker’s emergence has also provided a boost for the rest of the dressing room, as Michael Carrick admitted earlier this week when reflecting on the dramatic 3-2 win over Arsenal.

“He's really down to earth,” the vice-captain explained. “He's quite quiet at the moment, but he might come out of his shell after this! I was talking to him in the changing room and he was talking about the atmosphere, what it means to him and seeing the fans respond, and all that type of thing.

“It's a breath of fresh air, you know, and something that you take for granted in many ways, so to see what it means to the young lads and how they responded, is incredible really.”

Morgan Schneiderlin has also paid tribute to United’s latest Player of the Month and tipped the youngster for a bright future at the club. “He didn’t train many times with us, but when he did we could see straight away he had quality,” Morgan revealed earlier this week.

“Against Midtjylland he showed it, and he showed it again on Sunday. I hope he continues like that, because he is an exciting prospect for the football club.”

Rashford’s emergence came as a result of Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Will Keane all being out injured, prompting his promotion from the youth ranks at the 11th hour. Club legend Paddy Crerand has watched his progress within the Academy and has always been confident in his ability.

“I’ve known about Marcus for years from watching the Academy games and he’s always stood out like a sore thumb, for both his ability and physique. His name has rightly been splashed across the headlines of late because it’s so rare to score twice on your debut for this club.”
