Man I like Eddie Howe as a coach. I’d like him to step up to better team like Everton or someone around that level, really think he has something that makes his team tick.

As do I. I also really like him as a person.
Honestly, most probably hate this idea , but if United hired a legitimate DOF made Howe manager , I wouldn't hate it.
This club needs to be rebuilt , and Howe fits all the characteristics I'd be looking for if I were Woodward. Problem is, he'll likely go for a big name , and try to fix things immediately.
Sir Alex Ferguson had only managed Scottish sides before United hired him - and in spite of his extraordinary success with Aberdeen - the powers that be at United today would probably not consider that 'enough experience' for the job.
It probably makes more sense to hire an up and comer than to get the next 'proven' guy whose flaws the whole world already knows.
Scottish football was much different back then than it is now. They had some really quality teams up there.Sir Alex Ferguson had only managed Scottish sides before United hired him - and in spite of his extraordinary success with Aberdeen - the powers that be at United today would probably not consider that 'enough experience' for the job.

United in 1986 also wasn't what United is now in terms of the global brand and massive club status
