Manchester United boss David Moyes is among the
nominees for the Barclays Premier League manager
of the month award for December.
United have lost their past three games in all
competitions, but won four, drew once and lost
twice in their seven league games last month.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who
went unbeaten in December, is also nominated.
Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho and Everton’s Roberto
Martinez also feature.
Moyes started December with a 2-2 draw against
Tottenham before subsequent 1-0 home defeats by
Everton and Newcastle.
A run of four wins, against Aston Villa, West Ham,
Hull and Norwich, followed before United lost 2-1 to
Tottenham on New Year’s Day.
Swansea then knocked Moyes’s side out of the FA
Cup on Sunday before Sunderland beat them 2-1 in
the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final.
It is the first time since 2001 that United have lost
three games in a row.
There are six contenders for the player of the
month award, with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez,
who has scored 20 league goals in 15 games,
leading the way.
Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo, defender
Vincent Kompany and midfielder Yaya Toure are
also nominated.
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley and Arsenal
forward Theo Walcott, who has been ruled out for
the rest of the season with a knee injury, are the
other contenders.
