Man Utd's Carrick on manager of the season shortlist

"Carrick, who has overseen just 15 games in charge since replacing Ruben Amorim in January, is joined by Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, who are vying to win this season's league title. Departing Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola, Brentford's Keith Andrews and Sunderland's Regis le Bris have also been nominated."

"Manchester United chiefs are expected to recommend that Carrick be appointed as permanent manager following his impressive spell as caretaker, during which he has won 66.7% of his games in charge. The former United midfielder, 44, has secured a return to the Champions League after guiding United from seventh to third in the table, with no Premier League club winning more points (33) since Carrick's appointment on 13 January."

"Also shortlisted are Arsenal trio David Raya, Gabriel and Declan Rice, and Manchester City pair Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland. Also shortlisted are Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Brentford striker Igor Thiago and Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White."

"The winners will be decided by a combination of a public vote and panel of football experts. Arteta is two victories from delivering Arsenal's first Premier League title since 2004 - but he could yet be denied by fellow Spaniard Guardiola, who could win Manager of the Season for a sixth time."
