Overview
- The Premier League confirmed Carrick as January’s winner following United’s 2-0 derby victory over Manchester City and a 3-2 comeback at Arsenal.
- Carrick took charge on January 13 as interim head coach and oversaw only two league matches in the award window.
- United’s form under Carrick has extended to a five-game unbeaten run in the league, with four wins and a draw that included victories over Fulham and Tottenham and a late leveller at West Ham.
- Interim managers rarely claim the prize, and Carrick topped a public vote ahead of Andoni Iraola, Liam Rosenior and Sean Dyche.
- Reporting indicates club leadership is increasingly considering Carrick for the role this summer, while separate reports suggest Tottenham could explore him as a candidate.
