Eddie Howe to Man United odds slashed after latest developments
Eddie Howe's odds to the next Man United manager have been shortened as pressure heaps on Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.
United's slow start to the new campaign continued as they lost 1-0 to rivals Man City on Sunday afternoon.
Fans and pundits criticised Carrick after the clash for how his players struggled to break down a 10-man City side.
The Red Devils sit 13th in the Premier League with four points from their opening four games of the campaign.
Carrick could be relieved of his duties if their poor form carries on for the next few weeks and months, with Howe seemingly in line to replace him.
The 48-year-old is taking some time out of the game after leaving Newcastle in July, and has been linked to taking over at Old Trafford for several years.
Eddie Howe sees Man United manager odds slashed to 5/2
Howe stepped down as Newcastle boss just weeks before the start of the new season as he felt he had taken their team as far as he could over the last five years.
The Magpies' tough summer window likely fuelled his decision, but the 48-year-old's exit was mainly put down to a lack of energy and needing time to recharge.
He did an impressive job on Tyneside, and has long been mooted as a potential Man United manager in the future.
Several top UK bookmakers have drawn up odds on his next job, with two companies slashing his price to take over at United to 5/2 in the last 24 hours.
Howe is in line to replace Thomas Tuchel as England boss
Howe has also long been linked to becoming the Three Lions' manager after proving himself as the best English coach in football over the last few years.
He became the first English manager to win a major trophy on these shores since 2008 as he led Newcastle to Carabao Cup glory last year.
Sources have exclusively revealed to Football Insider that Howe is in the frame to replace Tuchel as the Three Lions boss if they decide to part ways with the German soon.
His future as England manager is increasingly uncertain amid the FA’s investigation into their 2026 World Cup performance, with his tactics widely blamed for the semi-final loss to Argentina.
