Kelechi Iheanacho to battle Marcus Rashford for February award

Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford headlines the list of six nominees for the Premier League Player of the Month award for February.

 He will be looking to win the award for the third time this season after scoring five goals in four games for Erik ten Hag's side.

Rashford scored in each of his four appearances in February, which included goals against Leeds, Crystal Palace, and a brace against Leicester City to put the seal on an impressive month for the Red Devils.

Despite being the favourite to win it, Rashford faces some competition from Leicester City's Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheanacho. 

Iheanacho or 'Senior man' as he is fondly called by supporters, is also a strong contender for the award after a superb individual month which saw him score two goals and provide three assists in just four appearances for the Foxes.

Tottenham defender Emerson is another contender for the award. He was a key member of a backline that kept clean sheets in wins over Manchester City, West Ham, and Chelsea and added a goal against City for good measure. 

High-flying side, Fulham are the only team with two nominees as former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno and in-form winger Manor Solomon both received nominations. 

Solomon, in particular, has been in terrific form for Marco Silva's side in recent weeks and thoroughly deserves the recognition. He has now scored in three successive substitute appearances to help the Cottagers keep up their fine form. 

Rounding off the list is Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, who was also exceptional in February scoring in all four of his appearances.
