Jadon Sancho has been crowned Manchester United player of the month for the very first time following an impressive February.
Named on a three-man shortlist alongside Raphael Varane and fellow winger Anthony Elanga, the England international — who joined United from Borussia Dortmund last summer — won the award after attracting the most votes from United's supporters. However, it did prove to be a close run battle between himself and Elanga for the gong, with Sancho coming out on top with less than 600 votes between them.
United confirmed that is the closest gap there has been for the award between the winner and runner-up since Juan Mata beat fellow Spaniard Ander Herrera to the gong back in 2016. David de Gea had won each of the last three monthly awards, meaning a new winner was guaranteed.
