Eddie Howe Should Be Manchester United’s Next Manager – Roy Keane

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has revealed who he wants to succeed Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. He recently revealed that MUFC should try to prise Eddie Howe away from Premier League rivals Newcastle, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though he believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would do fine as interim manager until the end of the season, he’d prefer Eddie to be named permanent manager.

Keane added that he loves Howe’s calmness as a coach, and he has done a very good job at Newcastle United and Bournemouth.

His words, “You could throw 20 names at me and I’d still say the same thing. Whoever goes in, you wish them well. Do I think it’s the right or wrong answer?

I don’t know. If it’s until the end of the season, I think Ole would do alright. Do I see Ole as the manager for the next four or five seasons, getting United back competing, then probably not.

I’d go Eddie Howe. I like him. I like what he’s done, his management. He’s managed a lot of games, when his teams are at it, they play good football.

I know he’s not for everyone, he’ll have his critics but I like what he’s done at Newcastle and Bournemouth, he’s managed 700 to 800 games, he’s still a young man. I love his calmness, I think sometimes Man United need a bit of that.

We’ve seen the previous manager going in – I like people with emotion, obviously I’m quite an emotional person – but I think his calmness, what he’s done at Newcastle, Champions League a couple of times, winning the (League) Cup. I’d be happy to see him go in there.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
