  • Manchester United would owe Newcastle £3m to appoint Eddie Howe.
  • Howe negotiated specific contract terms upon his departure in July.
  • Michael Carrick remains in charge of training sessions for now.

Manchester United would be required to pay approximately £3m in compensation to Newcastle if they decide to appoint Eddie Howe as their next manager. This financial obligation stems from an agreement Howe reached regarding his contract when he left the club in July.

In the interim, Michael Carrick is scheduled to lead the squad's training sessions on Tuesday. According to reports, Carrick is expected to remain in his current role until Manchester United finalizes a deal for a permanent successor. The club's director of football, Jason Wilcox, and chief executive, Omar Berrada, are overseeing the transition process.
