The Blades boss won the prestigious award last night which was presented by Sir Alex Ferguson and Gareth Southgate

After leading Sheffield United to the Premier League by automatic promotion, Chris Wilder claimed an award of his own last night, receiving the LMA Sir Alex Ferguson trophy. The trophy is awarded to the best manager in English league football as voted for by other coaches.

The Sheffield United manager was on a shortlist alongside Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Daniel Farke, and his second promotion in three years was enough to earn him the prize.
