As the search for Ruben Amorim's successor intensifies, Roy Keane has surprisingly urged Manchester United to target Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.
"I'd go Eddie Howe, I like him," said the United legend. "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."
While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains the favorite for an interim role until the end of the season, reports suggest the United board are increasingly impressed by Howe’s transformation of Newcastle.
However, Howe remains publicly committed to his project on Tyneside ahead of their upcoming FA Cup fixture.
