The wily tactician took charge of the club in November 2021 following the sacking of Steve Bruce<\/a> after PIF\u2019s takeover of the club<\/a> finally went through a few weeks earlier.<\/p>\n Howe took charge at St. James\u2019 Park<\/a> with Newcastle languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table<\/a> and he\u2019s taken them to their second Champions League<\/a> campaign in less than four years.<\/p>\n Though spending over \u00a3700m on new players has certainly fuelled Newcastle\u2019s<\/a> rise up the ranks, Howe has constantly proven to be an astute manager who has used the wealth at his disposal effectively.<\/p>\n But, as Newcastle learned with the Alexander Isak saga<\/a> this past summer, they remain in a position where the established big clubs can take their talent away, a category Howe certainly falls into.<\/p>\n There has been no suggestion that Howe, who recently extended his contract with the club, is going anywhere but he will surely have suitors if a big job becomes available.<\/p>\n However, Darren Bent believes one job he would definitely turn down is that of Manchester United.<\/p>\n While Newcastle have been climbing up the table, Man Utd have been spiralling downwards for years.<\/p>\n New manager Ruben Amorim has been unable to stop the rot and has only managed to win 40% of his 50 games in charge at Old Trafford so far.<\/p>\n Though he has been repeatedly backed by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the beleaguered Amorim remains under constant pressure and has yet to even win two games in a row after nearly a year in charge.<\/p>\n Despite Man U\u2019s fall from grace over the past decade and having no Champions League football to offer, they still remain a pull for players and beat Newcastle to the signings of Bryan Mbuemo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko<\/a> this past summer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s feasible, therefore, that they could tempt Howe away should Amorim be sacked, but retired striker Bent can\u2019t see it happening.<\/p>\n He said on TalkSport when asked if Howe could go to Manchester: \u201cNo way. No way. <\/p>\n \u201cEddie Howe\u2019s not leaving Newcastle to go to Man United now. Eddie Howe\u2019s next job is England.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Eddie Howe replace Thomas Tuchel as England manager<\/p>\n![\"Eddie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239211617-1024x683.jpg\")
