Michael Carrick was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month for January, marking his first month in charge of Manchester United after succeeding Ruben Amorim as the manager of the Red Devils. Beating the top two in your first two matches in charge 😲 Michael Carrick wins @Barclays Footy Manager of the Month on his return to @Man Utd 👔. Carrick's arrival at Old Trafford had an immediate impact. Since replacing Amorim on January 13, Carrick has achieved four consecutive victories in his first matches — against Manchester City, Arsenal (both in January), Fulham, and Tottenham — and remained unbeaten after a draw with West Ham, secured by a goal from Benjamin Sesko in the 90+6'. This turnaround has revitalized the Red Devils in the fight for the top spots in the Premier League, following a more turbulent period with the Portuguese at the helm. To win this award, Carrick surpassed Liam Rosenior of Chelsea, who also completed his first month in charge of the Blues, Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth, and Sean Dyche, who was dismissed from Nottingham Forest this week. Manchester United is currently in fourth place in the Premier League – in a Champions League qualifying spot – with 45 points, 12 behind leaders Arsenal.
