Marcus Rashford's red-hot form at Manchester United has seen him match a Premier League record held by Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

Rashford has now won four Player of the Month gongs in total, leaving him three adrift of Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane in the overall stakes. Rashford has become the first man to win back-to-back Premier League awards since Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan in January and February of 2021 and matches the three-trophy return of Egyptian superstar Salah from 2017-18. So impressive has the England international been that he has now collected three Premier League Player of the Month awards, with the latest of those – which recognises his exploits in February – seeing him draw level with Salah when it comes to the most monthly prizes earned in a single top-flight campaign.

A debate is raging over who should wear the armband for Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford's name cropping up as a potential alternative to ...

[Bryan Robson](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/bryan-robson), [[Eric] Cantona](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/eric-cantona), that type, but he's the star player - he's been brilliant this season.

I'm happy to have Bruno Fernandes in the team and that he's captain when Harry isn’t on the pitch." Club captain [Harry Maguire](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) has spent most of this season on the bench, allowing Fernandes to lead United out for much of [Erik ten Hag](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag)'s first campaign as manager. As for Ten Hag's verdict, the United manager won't be stripping Fernandes of the armband any time soon. He's produced after coming out of a really difficult phase and he's obviously the future of this football club. Scholes took a different stance, however, admitting: "I don't really see him as a leader. Asked on Wednesday whether the Portuguese midfielder would remain vice-captain in spite of his display against Liverpool, Ten Hag replied: "Yes, definitely. He could have that responsibility and grow into the role.

With Arsenal currently sitting atop the Premier League, one 'Gunners' player, in particular, has stood out to Emmanuel Frimpong.

Manchester City will win the FA Cup, and Arsenal will win the Europa League. But in reality, we know that Manchester United will find it hard in the other competitions.” I don’t think they will win any of the other trophies, they have no chance in the league. Possessing the strength of an ox and the skills of a player far beyond his years, Frimpong looked like a potential Arsenal legend. Like he has with most of the squad, Mikel Arteta has worked tirelessly to bring the best out of Bukayo Saka. He helps his full-backs, dribbles very well and is versatile.
