In winning the award Rashford equals the Premier League record for most EA SPORTS Player of the Month prizes in a single season. He is level with Mohamed Salah, who won three in 2017/18.
After Ilkay Gundogan did it in January and February of 2021, Rashford is the first player to get the award in back-to-back months.
Overall, Rashford has taken home the award four times in his career, falling three shies of the record shared by Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane.
The 25-year-old topped a six-man shortlist that included Kelechi Iheanacho, Bernd Leno, Emerson Royal, Manor Solomon and Ollie Watkins.
He won after the public’s votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
Your @EASPORTSFIFA Player of the Month for a THIRD time this season!
Congratulations, @MarcusRashford 😄👈#PLAwards | @ManUtd pic.twitter.com/tAjKexFHyT
