Newcastle have a new coach

On the night of November 8 (Hanoi time), Newcastle Club announced the appointment of Eddie Howe as head coach.

"Newcastle United is delighted to confirm the appointment of Eddie Howe as head coach on a contract until the summer of 2024," the St James' Park club's website announced.

"I want to thank the club's owners for giving me this opportunity. I also want to thank the Newcastle fans for their love for me," the new "Magpies" captain added.

MU decided not to fire coach Solskjaer

MU's board of directors ignored fans' calls and decided not to fire coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer's future at MU has once again become a hot topic among fans after the humiliating 0-2 loss to Man City. However, unlike the time of the 0-5 loss to Liverpool, the British media has almost no news about the MU leadership reconsidering the Norwegian coach's position.

According to reputable sources BBC Sport and The Athletic, there is no sign that MU will fire Solskjaer in the middle of the season. They will only consider the future of this 48-year-old coach after the end of the season. Meanwhile, Sky Sports even confirmed that MU has declared that they will not fire Solskjaer to close reporters.

There are many reasons why MU continues to put their trust in Solskjaer. Firstly, they do not want to lose a large compensation for the Norwegian coach and his associates. Secondly, MU does not have a satisfactory choice at this time. The coaches rumored to be with them such as Brendan Rodgers, Graham Potter or Erik Ten Hag do not intend to leave their home club in the middle of the season.

Finally, MU believes that their situation is not so bad that it cannot be saved. Even though they have lost 4 out of the last 6 rounds, MU is still ranked 6th in the Premier League table and they still have a chance to win a ticket to the Champions League next season.

That's why, despite the rising wave of opposition to Solskjaer among the club's fan community, MU remains calm. They promise to only change at the end of this season, when everything is settled.
