Michael Carrick, who took over the reins at "Manchester United" in mid-January, has been named the best "Premier" League manager of the month.

His debut in January at the helm of the "Red Devils" was marked by victories against "Manchester City" and London’s "Arsenal".

Interestingly, M. Carrick is the second "Man Utd" manager to win this award this season, as Ruben Amorim was recognized as the best manager for November prior to this.

Carrick's solid start at the helm of "United" allowed the team to rise to fourth place in the league table.
