Benjamin Sesko has won Manchester United's Goal of the Month award for February.

That's perhaps unsurprising news given the Slovenia international gave fans three dramatic, late and crucial goals to vote for across the month.

His efforts against against Fulham, West Ham United and Everton, all from the bench, were the critical factor on each occasion, netting seven points in total for Michael Carrick's side.

Now, we can reveal which is the winner...

SESKO IN FEBRUARY | The Slovenian showed his quality with an incredible late equaliser away to West Ham...

Attracting 34 per cent of the total vote, you voted the 22-year-old's sensational strike against the Hammers as your Goal of the Month for February.

Having gone a goal down early in the second half through Tomas Soucek, the Reds were chasing the game and Sesko was thrown on just shy of the 70th minute to help the cause.

Help he would in the sixth minute of added time, as Bryan Mbeumo swept an inswinging cross into the hosts' penalty area towards Sesko. Almost level with the near post, on the edge of the six-yard box, the Slovenian reversed his first-time effort around marker Axel Disasi and beyond Mads Hermansen's reach to level the game.

It was a sensational effort, especially given the pressure in that moment, but there was no time for Benjamin to dwell in celebration: he was straight back to the centre to try and find a winner.

Time ran out before a second could be found at the London Stadium, but Sesko did clinch all three points against Everton and Fulham.

Away at the Toffees, the striker saw Matheus Cunha loft a pass to Mbeumo and flew down the pitch to join the attack, finishing coolly around Jordan Pickford with a targeted first-time strike, which came a close second in this award with 30 per cent.

Back at Old Trafford at the start of February against the Cottagers, Sesko also took the bronze award in the fan poll (17 per cent) for his spin and hit, again in stoppage-time, nullifying a Kevin equaliser at the other end moments before.

Casemiro's and Cunha's goals against Fulham, along with Bruno Fernandes's and Mbeumo's efforts against Spurs, were all entered into the draw and did receive a decent portion of the vote.

But, with the impact, timing and consistency of Sesko's contributions this month, the award was only ever heading in one direction.

Congratulations, Benjamin! Thank you to everyone who voted.
