Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher delivered their end-of-season awards on Monday Night Football, revealing their Premier League Team and Player of the Season selections. Both pundits largely agreed on the core XI, with Bruno Fernandes and Declan Rice emerging as their respective Player of the Season picks.

Neville selected his former Manchester United teammate Fernandes, praising his creativity and persistence through the club's struggles. He highlighted how Fernandes reached the same goal involvement levels as Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, placing him among the Premier League's elite creators. Neville's XI featured David Raya in goal behind a back four of Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, and O'Reilly.

Carragher opted for Rice as his Player of the Season, arguing that Fernandes played in matches without real jeopardy. He emphasized Rice's Champions League semi-final performances against Atletico Madrid and his consistent drive for Arsenal throughout their multi-competition campaign. Carragher's team included Nunes at right-back alongside the same core defensive unit.

The contrasting selections reflect different philosophies: Neville rewarded individual brilliance in adversity, while Carragher valued consistent excellence in high-stakes matches. Both agreed on Haaland leading the line, recognizing his continued goal-scoring prowess for Manchester City.
