Meanwhile, his boss Pep Guardiola has also been named the Barclays February coach of the Month after guiding his side to four straight wins.

In the month of Feb, City beat Arsenal 3-1 before thrashing Chelsea 6-0. This was followed by a 2-0 win over Everton before holding their nerves to beat West Ham United 1-0.This is the sixth time Guardiola has won the monthly manager award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of football experts.

The Spaniard saw off competition from Emery and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was unable to scoop the prize for the second time in a row after his January triumph.
