No player was directly involved in more Premier League goals in the month than Hojlund, who scored five and assisted one.
Hojlund scored in all four of his February appearances, winning each match. It extended his overall Premier League scoring streak to six matches, the youngest player in history to achieve this.
The 21-year-old is the second Manchester United player to earn the prize this season, after Harry Maguire claimed it in November.
He topped a seven-man shortlist after the public's votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.

Arteta named Barclays Manager of the Month
Mikel Arteta has been named as February 2024's Barclays Manager of the Month, winning the award for a seventh time.
Arteta's Arsenal were the only Premier League team with a 100 per cent winning record in February, beating leaders Liverpool, West Ham United, Burnley and Newcastle United.
The Gunners also had the best attack, scoring 18 goals, six more than anyone else, and the joint-best defence, conceding only twice.
It means only seven managers in Premier League history have won more Barclays Manager of the Month awards than Arteta, who moves level with Rafa Benitez.

Mainoo wins Budweiser Goal of the Month award
Kobbie Mainoo has won February 2024's Budweiser Goal of the Month award for his brilliant match-winning strike in Manchester United's dramatic 4-3 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 18-year-old midfielder nutmegged a Wolves player, slalomed his way to the edge of the box and curled a wonderful effort into the bottom-right corner in the seventh minute of stoppage time at Molineux.
Kobbie Mainoo is your Budweiser @premierleague Goal of the Month winner for February!

It was Mainoo's first goal in the Premier League and, remarkably, makes it the second successive month in which a player has won the Budweiser Goal of the Month award with their maiden goal in the competition, after Manchester City's Oscar Bobb claimed January's prize.
It also means Man Utd have won three of this season's seven Budweiser Goal of the Month awards, and gives them a February awards double, with Rasmus Hojlund being named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month.
Mainoo's goal topped a shortlist of eight of the best in February after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts.

September: Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
October: Saman Ghoddos (Brentford)

Flekken claims Castrol Save of the Month
Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken has won February 2024's Castrol Save of the Month award for his stunning save against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Flekken scrambled across his line before diving low to his left to tip Pedro Neto's header onto the post in the 44th minute to help the Bees to a 2-0 away win.
The 30-year-old is the first Brentford player to win a Castrol Save of the Month award, and only the third Bees player to win any of the Premier League's monthly awards, after Saman Ghoddos and Ivan Toney claimed the Budweiser Goal of the Month award in October 2023 and September 2022 respectively.
Flekken's save topped a shortlist of six of the best saves by goalkeepers across the month.
He wins the award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts.
2023/24 Castrol Save winners
August: Alisson (Liverpool)
September: Robert Sanchez (Chelsea)
October: Alphonse Areola (West Ham)
November: Thomas Kaminski (Luton)
December: Wes Foderingham (Sheff Utd)
January: Jordan Pickford (Everton)
