Eddie Howe: Man United face unexpected obstacle in their bid to replace Michael Carrick
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readEddie Howe is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United, but Newcastle United are due a payout if he joins.
Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
If Manchester United part ways with Michael Carrick, Eddie Howe is reportedly the man they will likely turn to. For many, the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday was the final nail in the coffin for Carrick’s United project.
The Red Devils have now collected only seven points from eight games and sit 16th in the league table, just two points above bottom-placed Sunderland.
If the team had been playing well without the results going their way, there might have been an excuse to hope Carrick could still turn things around.
