Eddie Howe rejects Crystal Palace approach amid Manchester United interest

Eddie Howe has reportedly rejected an approach from Crystal Palace to replace Pierre Sage as manager. The former Newcastle United manager is currently a candidate for the Manchester United vacancy should the club decide to dismiss Michael Carrick.

Reports indicate that Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox views Howe as a preferred candidate. While Manchester United has not officially announced a decision regarding Carrick, the club reportedly sounded out Howe about the position in October. Howe is understood to be open to the role at Old Trafford, subject to negotiations and potential compensation to Newcastle United.
