Marcus Rashford wins Premier League Player of the Month for September - despite playing just two matches for Man United - after Erling Haaland failed to even make the shortlist!

Marcus Rashford has won the Premier League's Player of the Month award for September.

The forward, who has found a new lease of life under Erik ten Hag, put on an impressive showing against Arsenal at the start of September, scoring twice as the Red Devils ran out 3-1 winners.

The 24-year-old beat Philip Billing, Kevin De Bruyne, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Jacob Ramsey and Alex Iwobi to the award.

In total, Rashford picked up two goals and two assists in September.

Manchester United only played two games in the month, but the forward was involved in all four goals, also teeing up two assists for team-mates Jadon Sancho and Antony.

He seemed set to earn an England recall for his performances, but picked up a hamstring injury in the Arsenal game and has been out ever since.

After the England squad was announced, Rashford tweeted: 'In regards to England every player wants to represent their country and I'm not different! Unfortunately I'm not ready yet as I've picked up an untimely injury.'

Rashford has been playing up front for United so far this season, returning to a position that saw him break onto the scene as a teenager.

He has been keeping Cristiano Ronaldo out the side, but missed the Red Devils' last two games in the Europa League with the hamstring issue. 

United face rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby this weekend, with Rashford a doubt for the tie. 

Despite City star De Bruyne being shortlisted for the award, Erling Haaland was not nominated despite a string of impressive performances.

He too scored two goals in September, with strikes against Aston Villa and Wolves.
