Eddie Howe has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager, with the club potentially needing to pay significant compensation to Newcastle United. The i Paper reported Howe is interested in the opportunity despite initially wanting a break from football. Director of football Jason Wilcox favours Howe due to his Premier League experience.

Manchester United would need to pay Newcastle United up to £6m to appoint Howe, although this figure may reduce to £3m. The Telegraph reported this potential compensation due to Howe having several years remaining on his contract when he left Newcastle in July.

Howe's potential appointment also involves considering further costs if he brings his former backroom staff to Old Trafford. The Chronicle previously reported Howe was earning around £6m per year at Newcastle with at least three years remaining on his deal.
