Manchester United star Marcus Rashford nominated for two Premier League awards

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has been nominated for January's Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards in the Premier League.

The England international has been in scintillating form so far this season and enjoyed a productive January in a red shirt - registering three goals in four top-flight matches this term. Rashford has now scored 18 goals this term, including nine in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old was on target against Bournemouth, Manchester City and Arsenal in the league in January, while also scoring three times in two cup matches. He was also nominated for December's award, along with team-mate Casemiro, but the Reds duo lost out to Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.

Rashford, who was named Premier League Player of the Month in September, is up against Dan Burn, Brennan Johnson, Riyad Mahrez, Solly March, David Raya and Bukayo Saka for this month's award. He is also the reigning Player of the Month at United - beating Casemiro and Luke Shaw in the last round of voting.

As well as being nominated for this month's Player of the Month award, the United man's goal in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend is also up for the Goal of the Month award. Rashford opened the scoring for Erik ten Hag's side in the disappointing loss at the Emirates, smashing home with a devastating finish after producing a tidy nut-meg on Thomas Partey.

The academy graduate scored his 10th goal in as many matches in the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, with Ten Hag's men all but securing their spot in the Carabao Cup final.
