Manchester United's directors were due to meet on Monday, October 26, to decide the future of head coach Michael Carrick after the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday. Reports say the club is now looking at four possible replacements. The names mentioned are Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Unai Emery and Fabian Hürzeler. According to Sky Sports and The Guardian, Howe and Nagelsmann are the leading candidates. Howe, the former Newcastle manager, is reportedly highly regarded by director of football Jason Wilcox. Nagelsmann, who used to coach Germany, is said to be backed by head of recruitment Christopher Vivell. Emery, who manages Aston Villa, is also reportedly liked within the club, but would be a more expensive option because of the terms of his contract. Hürzeler, who manages Brighton, has been mentioned too, though an immediate move looks unlikely. Journalist James Ducker of the Telegraph reported that United's leadership would hold crisis talks on Monday and that ther...

Israelis are voting today in an election many see as one of the most important in the country's history. Polls published on Friday show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a near-even race with former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, but neither side is projected to win the 61 seats needed for a majority. That means weeks or even months of coalition bargaining could follow. Israel's proportional system has always produced coalition governments, and this contest looks especially tight. Reports say about 70,000 Israelis flew home from abroad to vote, and around half a million people are voting for the first time. Eisenkot leads the Yashar Party, formed only last year, and heads a "change bloc" of parties that disagree on much but share the aim of removing Netanyahu. Its other leaders include former prime minister Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman and the left-leaning former general Yair Golan. Netanyahu, who first became prime minister in 1996, needs to rebuild his coali...
