Manchester United’s rocky start has sparked fresh talk about the future of Ruben Amorim, and whispers of Eddie Howe as a possible replacement.
The rumor mill has been in full swing, but Newcastle’s head coach has made his stance very clear.
United currently sit in 14th place, just one point above Newcastle, and pressure on Amorim continues to rise after an inconsistent run of results.
A Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town and a 3-1 loss to Brentford have not helped his cause.
Despite some promising signs, doubts remain about his ability to turn things around. That uncertainty has opened the door for speculation around potential successors.
But Howe is having none of it.

What Eddie Howe said over Manchester United speculation?
Speaking ahead of Newcastle’s next match, Howe shut down the chatter. “I’m all in (at Newcastle). My commitment here is 100 per cent and always has been. My family is still here, and we are fighting every day to make a success of what we are doing.”
He went on to stress the need for focus. “You take your eye off the ball for a second, you get lazy, or you get used to the same habits, that’s not going to work. You’ve got to continually think and push boundaries and get better.”
Howe’s words were not just about loyalty but also about the fragile nature of management in modern football.
He admitted the constant pressure drives him to work harder, hinting he has no intention of swapping St. James’ Park for Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Amorim faces a tough road. Reports suggest the United board still back him, but patience is wearing thin.
For now, fans can take Howe at his word. He’s not ready to jump ship. After all, when it comes to Newcastle, he seems determined to keep his eyes firmly on the ball — and not on Manchester.
