Manchester United is reportedly considering Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag. This development comes as Ten Hag faces increasing pressure after a poor start to the Premier League season, with Manchester United currently sitting 14th in the table and struggling in European competitions as well. The club’s hierarchy has decided to retain Ten Hag through the international break, but if results don’t improve, a managerial change could be on the horizon.
Eddie Howe has impressed during his tenure at Newcastle, guiding them to a top-four finish last season and into the Champions League. His success in developing young talent and his tactical acumen have made him a candidate for Manchester United’s long-term plans. However, Newcastle is reluctant to let Howe go mid-season, and Manchester United would face a challenge in convincing him to leave.
Additionally, Howe is also a candidate for the England national team job, which complicates the situation further as both Manchester United and the FA would need to negotiate with Newcastle to secure his services.
