Eddie Howe turns down Premier League job with Man United still keen on ex-Newcastle boss

Former Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has reportedly turned down an approach to take over at Crystal Palace while remaining on a career break. Howe departed Newcastle in July after nearly five years in charge, yet Manchester United reportedly remains interested in his services despite currently backing manager Michael Carrick.

Any prospective club aiming to hire Howe must pay Newcastle around £3 million in compensation. The manager previously rejected an opportunity with Champions League club Lens following Dino Toppmoller's exit, having left St. James' Park following disagreements over Newcastle's restructured transfer approach.
