Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has earned a nomination for the Premier League Manager of the Season award after guiding the club’s dramatic turnaround at Old Trafford.
Carrick was shortlisted alongside Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who are both leading the race for the Premier League title.
Also nominated are Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, Brentford coach Keith Andrews and Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris.
The former Manchester United midfielder took charge in January following Ruben Amorim’s exit and has since transformed the club’s campaign.
Under the 44-year-old, United climbed from seventh place into the top three and secured qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Since Carrick’s appointment on January 13, Manchester United have collected 33 league points the highest tally in the Premier League during that period.
