Leeds fans have voted U.S. men's national team midfielder Brenden Aaronson the club's Player of the Month for January.
Notching 55 percent of the votes, Aaronson dominated the competition against teammates Ethan Ampadu, James Justin and Gabriel Gudmundsson.
Aaronson started all six of the club's Premier League matches in January, scoring three goals.
"It's an amazing feeling to get this award," Aaronson said. "But most of all it was a really good month for the team too, with some great performances across the pitch."
Despite suffering a 4-3 loss at Newcastle United on Jan. 7, Aaronson stood out in that match by securing a brace. However, the USMNT midfielder believes his most impactful moment was against Manchester United.
"I'd probably say my goal against Man United," said Aaronson on his best moment in January. "Just to be at home, in front of our fans, a big rivalry between the two clubs — to score in that game will always feel the best."
Once ostracized by the club and fans, Aaronson has been on a tear this season, with hopes of securing a spot on Mauricio Pochettino's squad for the upcoming World Cup.
With Leeds hoping to avoid relegation, Aaronson is motivated to continue his impressive form in the latter stages of the season.
"That's the minimum for me now. I want to continue to play at this high level and show what I can do on the pitch, so that's the goal," he said.
"We've got to get ready for these next couple of big months and keep performing at the level that we're doing."
