Eddie Howe is open to holding talks with Manchester United if they part ways with manager Michael Carrick, three Premier League clubs are monitoring Bayern Munich's Lennart Karl, Manchester United are targeting a move for Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite.

Former Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe - who is out of work - would be interested in speaking to Manchester United if the Old Trafford club part ways with under-pressure manager Michael Carrick.

Manchester United are targeting a move for 24-year-old Everton and England defender Jarrad Branthwaite as they aim to make big changes to their defence. Former Watford, Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche is the frontrunner for the Crystal Palace job if the Eagles sack manager Pierre Sage.
