Eddie Howe would be open to talks with Manchester United if the club decides to part company with manager Michael Carrick, according to the latest football transfer speculation.
The report does not say that Manchester United have made an approach to Howe, or that Carrick is leaving his position. It presents the possibility of discussions only if the club and its manager go their separate ways.
The same round-up says three Premier League clubs are monitoring Bayern Munich player Lennart Karl. No further details about the clubs’ identities, their level of interest or any potential move are provided.
The claims form part of a wider collection of football gossip and do not confirm that either a managerial change at Manchester United or a transfer involving Karl is imminent. Further developments would depend on any decision over Carrick’s position and subsequent contact with potential candidates.
