Manchester United assesses Eddie Howe for potential managerial position

Manchester United's disappointing start in the Premier League, with just five points from five games, has led to speculation about Michael Carrick's future. Following a successful previous season, the team expected better performances but has struggled to make an impact thus far. Eddie Howe, who left Newcastle United this summer, is reportedly a candidate should United consider a managerial change. Sources indicate that Howe would be inclined to return to management only for a significant opportunity, making United's approach potentially crucial in their ambitions for success.
