Jason Wilcox shifts support to Eddie Howe for Manchester United job

Manchester United's technical director Jason Wilcox is reportedly favoring Eddie Howe for the managerial role, despite previously opposing him. This change follows Michael Carrick's struggles after a 4-1 defeat at Como, during which Bruno Fernandes hinted at player discontent. Carrick remains in charge for the upcoming match against Bournemouth, but the club is actively seeking a replacement. Julian Nagelsmann has also been mentioned as a potential candidate, underscoring United's ongoing managerial considerations given their current winless streak of seven games.
