Methods and arrangements (600) in a first network node (120-1) for managing handover of a user equipment (110) from the first network node (120-1), to a second network node (120-2). The method and arrangement (600) comprises transmitting (501) a handover message to the user equipment (110), which handover message is triggering the user equipment (110) to perform the handover, and to establishing (502) a limit related to the amount of retransmissions to be made. Further the method and arrangement (600) comprises interrupting (503) scheduling of resources to the user equipment (110) and inhibiting further retransmissions of the handover message, when either the established limit is reached, or an indication that the user equipment (110) has left the first cell (130-1) is received. Also, methods and arrangements (800) in a in a second network node (120-2) are disclosed.
