United legend and grumpy Roy Keane said it even before Michael Carrick was brought in as interim coach this winter: “Manchester United need Eddie Howe as manager”. A few months into the season with Carrick as permanent coach, it looks like Keane will get his wish.
Michael Carrick has done his part. After the 0-3 loss to Bournemouth and clear internal strife with Fernandes, Cunha and Mbeumo on the bench, there are no longer many who believe the United bosses dare to give Mr. Carrick more confidence. Regardless of whether it’s the sporting director’s blunder in the transfer market or players who don’t deliver, the coach is and will be the scapegoat at Man Utd when it comes to sporting.

According to Teamtalk’s sources at Manchester United, Michael Carrick is expected to be sacked. Then free agent Eddie Howe will move up as the top candidate to manage Manchester United. Because according to The Guardian , United boss Ratcliffe and the INEOS gang will listen to sporting director Wilcox with their favourite, the former Newcastle manager.
Howe established himself as one of the Premier League’s respected coaches during his time at Newcastle, leading the club through a period of significant progress and helping them become regular candidates for European play.
