Man Utd faces £3m compensation for potential Eddie Howe appointment
Summary

Manchester United may need to pay £3 million to Newcastle United if they hire Eddie Howe as head coach. United has struggled recently, going winless in eight games and suffering back-to-back defeats. Despite expectations of a managerial change, Michael Carrick remains in charge for the time being. Howe, who left Newcastle in July, has been considered a leading candidate along with Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte. A decision on Carrick's future could come soon.
