48-year-old manager 'interested' in Man United job amid crisis at Old Trafford

Eddie Howe and Antonio Conte are viewed as contingency options as United’s poor start leaves Michael Carrick under growing pressure, sources said.

  • Manchester United manager Michael Carrick remains in charge despite a difficult start to the Premier League campaign, with the team collecting just six points from six matches after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
  • Antonio Conte, a 57-year-old manager, has emerged as a potential successor should the club seek a change; he is currently available after leaving Napoli and recently expressed interest in managing a historic club.
  • Eddie Howe, a 48-year-old coach, also features on the list of potential candidates, with INEOS officials admiring his previous Champions League experience; Howe remains available after leaving Newcastle United this summer.
  • Despite mounting scrutiny, the INEOS hierarchy continues to support Carrick and hopes he can improve results, as replacing him now would feel premature given his previous Champions League qualification.
  • United's next few performances will likely determine the conversation surrounding their managerial future; having proven options like Conte and Howe interested could complicate the board's decision if results do not improve soon.
