By Adegboyega Adeleye Manchester United are considering Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte as potential replacements for head coach Michael Carrick, whose future is in serious doubt following the club’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, sources have told ESPN.
According to ESPN, the defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday intensified pressure on Carrick, coming five days after United suffered a 4-1 loss to Como in the Champions League.
The club have now gone eight games without a win in all competitions and sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone. ESPN reports that United have begun weighing up alternative managerial options, with former Newcastle United manager Howe and ex-Germany head coach Nagelsmann among the names being considered. Conte, who left Napoli in the summer, would also be open to discussions if United contacted him, the report added. United had reportedly conducted due diligence on several coaches before deciding to appoint Carrick on a two-year contract in May, following his successful interim spell.
