Michael Carrick's extraordinary impact at Manchester United has earned him a nomination for Premier League Manager of the Season. The temporary boss, who succeeded Ruben Amorim in January, has won 10 and drawn just 3 of his 15 matches in charge. Manchester United are reportedly ready to open talks over a permanent role for Carrick, whose form would have them just one point behind leaders Manchester City.

Carrick faces stiff competition from an impressive six-man shortlist. Keith Andrews has defied expectations at Brentford, while Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta battle for the title with Manchester City and Arsenal respectively. Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and Regis Le Bris complete the list, with both managers overcoming difficult summers to deliver strong campaigns.

The Player of the Season nominees include Bruno Fernandes, Erling Haaland, and Declan Rice. Manchester City's Semenyo and Nottm Forest's Gibbs-White complete an impressive list featuring the Premier League's top performers. Erling Haaland, the league's top goalscorer, joins Arsenal's defensive duo as contenders after a season defined by remarkable individual achievements.
