Roy Keane reveals he wants Eddie Howe to become Man United manager after Ruben Amorim's sacking - and explains why he would be 'happy' to see the Newcastle boss at Old Trafford
Roy Keane has revealed that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe would be his top choice to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. 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 love his calmness, I think sometimes Man United need a bit of that. During his five years at St James' Park, Howe has helped establish Newcastle as a top four contender every season, twice qualifying the Magpies for the Champions League.
