On Monday, Michael Carrick went to see an U21 team match at Manchester United. On Tuesday, Carrick arrived at Carrington training ground as usual to lead the first team’s training. The coach, who was warned by many on his way out the exit door on Tuesday after Sunday’s defeat to Bournemouth, has clearly been entrusted to lead the club against Chelsea on Saturday. At the same time, it is reported that Eddie Howe is getting ready to step in at short notice.
According to The Guardian , former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is the top candidate for the job. In addition to being a highly regarded Premier League coach, the Englishman is out of a job, ready to start at any time – and without a huge expense to be bought off from another club.

But Eddie Howe doesn’t come completely free either.
Because according to the English media, an agreement was reached when he left Newcastle in the summer, on the remaining terms of his contract, which means that Newcastle can claim compensation from a new club for Eddie Howe.
Manchester United are the “world champions” in paying compensation to sacked coaches and buying out coaches from other clubs, so what is it all about this time?

There is talk of £3 million in compensation for Newcastle. Not much, but still a lot, when you change coaches at the pace of United.
