Eddie Howe Could Manage Against Newcastle Next Month

Eddie Howe could face Newcastle United as early as December 2 if he is appointed as Manchester United's next manager. According to reports from The Athletic, Manchester United is expected to sack manager Michael Carrick before the international break concludes. Howe is reportedly among the candidates being considered for the position, alongside Julian Nagelsmann, while USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino is viewed as the leading candidate.

If appointed before the upcoming fixture, the match on December 2 would mark Howe's first competitive meeting against Newcastle since departing St James' Park in July. Additionally, The Guardian previously reported that Manchester United would owe Newcastle around £3 million in compensation under the terms agreed upon his departure.
