Emery and Howe in the frame at Manchester United after Carrick

Manchester United are preparing to part ways with Michael Carrick after a 4-1 defeat away to Como. The club is looking for a new name for the head coach position that is about to become vacant.

Eddie Howe is considered United's first choice. His experience of managing Newcastle, Bournemouth and Burnley in the Premier League is cited as one of the main reasons behind his candidacy.

Another name on the list is Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery. Villa are reportedly demanding 24 million euros from any club that wants to make a move for Emery, a figure seen as one of the biggest obstacles to the transfer.

According to a report by The Telegraph, Julian Nagelsmann is also among the candidates. The German coach is said to be open to offers and keen to work in the Premier League.
