Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta and Manchester United forward, Rasmus Hojlund have both won the Premier League best performance award for February. Arteta was named the league’s manager of the month, while Hojlund picked up the best player version of the award.

It is the first award this season, having been nominated five times this season. He now has been named Manager of the Month on seven occasions since taking charge of Arsenal in December 2019, meaning only seven managers in the competition’s history have won more.

Manchester United’s Dane forward, Rasmus Hojlund picked up the Best Player award version following his terrific performance for the Red Devils. Rasmus scored 5 goals in his 4 games in February, a tremendous effort that sees him scoop the individual award over close rivals like Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka.
