Carrick Shortlisted for Premier League Manager of the Season

Michael Carrick has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Season award following a dramatic turnaround at Manchester United, where he took over on an interim basis on January 13 after the exit of Ruben Amorim. Under Carrick's management, Manchester United climbed from seventh to a position qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, achieving a remarkable 66.7% win rate with 33 points earned during his tenure.

He is in competition for the award against notable managers including Mikel Arteta of Arsenal and Pep Guardiola of Manchester City, as well as Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth and Keith Andrew of Brentford. Additionally, players David Raya, Gabriel Magalhães, and Declan Rice are shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Season, alongside Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo.

The winner will be determined through a combination of public votes and a panel of football experts.
