From the source

On Monday it was reported that Eddie Howe is now interested in speaking to Manchester United. Sky Sports saying that their sources had told them that with Michael Carrick set to be sacked, the former Newcastle United manager is willing to talk to Man U about taking over from Carrick.

Manchester United having won none of their last eight games in all competitions, losing five and drawing three. The latest humiliation on Sunday as Bournemouth dominated at Old Trafford and easily won 3-0.

In total this season, Michael Carrick has won only two of twelve matches in all competitions. Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports saying that their understanding was that the Man U bosses were already considering who they could replace Carrick with, even before the defeat to Bournemouth amid the club’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.
