Red Devils could make a shocking move after Dan Ashworth's switch

Newcastle United's season start hasn't been the way they had expected it to be. Be it on the field or off the field, the club currently feels restricted in various aspects, with multiple scenarios possible ahead regarding their future. Moreover, recent reports suggest that Manchester United are planning a surprise move that could change the Magpies club's fate altogether.

Red Devils could make a shocking move after Dan Ashworth's switch

While for much time, since the 2024/25 campaign started, Newcastle's issues seemed to be confined to the field, with the side being unable to put in convincing performances consistently. However, the last few days have increased their troubles more, with significant off-field scenarios influencing their club.

Since Gareth Southgate resigned from England's managerial role, rumors had been considering Newcastle boss Eddie Howe for the role. However, all such speculations had halted significantly, when Lee Carsley, coming as the interim manager, had looked quite convincing with his initial performances with the Three Lions. But their recent upset loss against Greece has again opened possibilities for Howe's move to the national role.

Moreover, what has been rather shocking is that, as per recent reports, Manchester United too are considering the Magpies boss. Given the Red Devils have been off to one of the worst starts in PL history this season, uncertainties are looming over Ten Hag's job at Old Trafford. Thus, planning a move for Eddie Howe makes sense for the Manchester club, even if it sounds much unfavorable from Newcastle's perspective.

As per GIVEMESPORT reports, the hierarchy members of the Red Devils are considering Eddie Howe's profile for Ten Hag's replacement. Moreover, why this move makes even more sense is that not long ago, Manchester United had brought in Newcastle's reliable sporting director Dan Ashworth, and reuniting him with Eddie Howe could be one of the biggest positive steps in reestablishing their dominance in the Top Flight.

While any such talks are in the initial stages, Newcastle would never want to lose their experienced, seasoned manager to their direct PL rivals. In the best case, Newcastle fans would hope that Eddie Howe's links with England and Man Utd's managerial role fail soon, with the manager continuing at the Magpies club.
