Eddie Howe obstacle at Manchester United: Newcastle could demand compensation
Eddie Howe is emerging as a leading candidate in Manchester United's search for a head coach. However, it is claimed that his former club Newcastle could demand a substantial compensation payment.
Michael Carrick's future at Manchester United remains uncertain following the defeat to Bournemouth. At the club, the question of who will replace him has begun to take clearer shape.
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery and Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler are reported to be of interest to the club. However, both are seen as difficult targets to reach. For this reason, talks have focused on former Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe and former Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Technical director Jason Wilcox is also reported to prefer Howe. Howe resigned from Newcastle in the summer. For this reason, he is seen as both an available and a calm option.
However, bringing Howe into the club may not be cheap for Manchester United. According to a Chronicle Live report, Newcastle's management accepted his decision after he said he wanted to leave in July. The club is expected to receive a significant compensation payment due to the remaining years on Howe's contract.
The report also states that Howe earned around 6 million pounds a year at Newcastle and had a multi-year agreement extended in the summer of 2024. Allowing Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone to leave the club along with Howe could increase the total amount payable to Newcastle.
