Newcastle United could receive an unexpected financial boost if former head coach Eddie Howe becomes Manchester United’s next manager. The payment is linked to an unreported agreement reached when Howe departed Newcastle.

According to the report, “a deal was struck on the remaining terms of his contract which means the club would be due compensation.” Manchester United would also reportedly owe Newcastle a smaller additional payment if Howe takes members of his former coaching staff with him, including assistant Jason Tindall.

Howe is described as the preferred candidate of Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox and is said to want the Old Trafford job. Current head coach Michael Carrick remains in place for now, with the club expected to remove him only once a successor has been secured.
