Rashford was part of Ten Hag’s side which beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
He also inspired the Red Devils comeback in their Europa League play-off at the Nou Camp, before United knocked out Barcelona at Old Trafford to reach the last-16.
During the period, the Old Trafford outfit defeated Crystal Palace, claimed a point against Leeds United before beating them at Elland Road and brushed aside Leicester City.
‘It’s obviously always good to be amongst the conversations,’ Rashford told the club’s website.
‘To be awarded this Player of Month, I feel like especially in the last three months, you could give it to anyone.
‘Any of the people that have been voted deserve to win it, it obviously makes me feel really proud that I have managed to do it three times.
‘All the players that have been up for it, even some of the ones that haven’t been up for it deserve it.
‘It shows that, as a team, we are improving and, hopefully, we can continue doing that.’

Asked for his standout moment from the month, Rashford said: ‘Probably the Nou Camp.
‘Last time I played there away, I felt like there were chances in the game, but I just didn’t take any of the chances.
‘We didn’t create enough of the chances that I thought were there in the game.
‘They ended up beating us 3-0 that night and it was on my mind this time to go back there and make sure we create chances, and we try to convert them.’
