News of the World: "The 62-year-old Toon boss has since had triple-bypass heart surgery. And there are other personal issues to be considered before any decision on whether he stays in the United hotseat.

"A senior Newcastle source said: "Joe Kinnear will have some role at the club come what may. If it's not in the manager's role, then he will be offered a position upstairs."

"That would put Kinnear in line to take over from Dennis Wise as the Geordies' director of football.

"Wise is set to leave at the end of the season, although he has stayed involved in most deals since he was appointed in January last year."
