The Story in 60 Seconds

Eddie Howe is among the leading candidates to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United, with director of football Jason Wilcox leaning towards appointing the former Newcastle manager. United are reportedly preparing to dismiss Carrick following a poor start that has left the club inside the Premier League relegation zone after just one win in 10 matches.

Persuading Howe could hinge on whether United agree to hire his long-time backroom staff, including assistant Jason Tindall, coaches Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone, and sports scientist Dan Hodges. Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino are also considered potential alternatives.
