Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick has another personal honour within reach after a productive February in the Premier League.

An official club update published on Thursday confirms Carrick has been shortlisted for the Premier League’s February Manager of the Month award.

The recognition follows an unbeaten run across the month. Three wins plus one draw are credited to United in February.

The former midfielder was also January’s winner. This puts him in the mix to claim the prize in successive months.

Unbeaten February returns

United began the month with a home win. They edged Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford, courtesy of goals from Casemiro, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko.

Another match in M16 brought another three points. Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-0, with finishes from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes.

The away trip to West Ham United ended level. The Red Devils earned a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, thanks to a late strike from Benjamin Sesko.

February then ended with a 1-0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Sesko scored the winner in this tie.

In addition, the Everton game marked the men’s first ever appearance at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
