Yorke on Howe and Carrick
Dwight Yorke said on Keys & Gray Unleashed: "The Eddie Howe scenario will raise a few eyebrows and yes, a man with a little bit more experience who has done obviously what he’s done at Bournemouth and at Newcastle."
Yorke said on Keys & Gray Unleashed: "It’s a different managerial level when you come in at Manchester United, but you ask yourself the question: who is out there and who will take it?"
Yorke said on Keys & Gray Unleashed: "Carrick has done well, obviously, Ole did reasonably well as well, but really, where Manchester United are at, who is out there?"
Yorke said on Keys & Gray Unleashed: "Howe would be one of those guys who stand out there at the moment. He’s not in a job, looking for a job."
