Shola Shoretire has been named Premier League 2 Player of the Month for February.

The Manchester United prospect scored a hat-trick in the 6-4 win over Blackburn Rovers for Neil Wood's Under-23 side and has made appearances in the Premier League and Europa League for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's senior team after signing his first professional contract.

Shola collected his award at the Aon Training Complex and he is the first Reds youngster to win the monthly award this season, although the likes of Joe Hugill and Arnau Puigmal have also previously been nominated. The Newcastle-born talent reappeared for the Under-23s in the 0-0 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion last Friday, before being an unused substitute against West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.
