Manchester United considers Eddie Howe as potential successor to Michael Carrick

Manchester United is reportedly considering former Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe as a potential successor to Michael Carrick should the club decide to change leadership. While owners INEOS are currently supporting Carrick following a difficult start to the season, his position remains dependent on upcoming results.

Carrick’s tenure has been marked by a League Cup exit and a struggle for consistency in the Premier League, including failing to secure a clean sheet in five matches. Reports indicate that Howe is viewed favorably by decision-makers because he possesses significant experience in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Howe, who previously led Bournemouth to the top tier and secured domestic silverware with Newcastle, is considered a “suitable successor” if Carrick does not achieve rapid improvement.
