He had been linked with a switch to Old Trafford

Although Darren Fletcher has been put in charge for the clash with Burnley later this week, the club are looking at appointing a caretaker manager for the next 6 months, before settling on a permanent figure in the summer.

One of the names seriously considered to be in the running to be the next permanent Man United manager has now ruled himself out.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has shown his commitment to the Magpies, by suggesting his head would not be turned should the Red Devils come knocking.

Speaking to press today, Howe said: “Would anything tempt me away? No, not at this current time. The most important thing is happiness in the role and relationships with people around me.

“That’s not always been consistently good so I think things can change at any club. But at the moment I’m very happy. We have made some great appointments in the key positions that needed filled.

“I’m happy as long as I can be the best version of myself to help the club, and we have unity.

“I have an unbelievable relationship with the board and I consider myself very lucky to have that. Very few managers have the time, the trust, the confidence […] if you have all of those things you have a higher chance of being successful.

I’m really happy at the moment and hopefully that stays for a long time.”

With Howe now ruled out, the search for the next Man United manager will roll on.

The early favourites look to be Oliver Glasner and Gareth Southgate.

Only time will tell who comes out on top.
