Gareth Southgate Opens To Manchester United Role Amid Rumors

Gareth Southgate, the current England manager, has hinted at his openness to potentially taking on a role at Manchester United, amidst rumors linking him to the club. Recent reports suggest that Southgate is one of three managers on United’s wish list, although nothing has been confirmed regarding the future of current manager Erik ten Hag. In a previous interview with Sky Sports, Southgate expressed his willingness to return to Premier League management, reflecting on his time at Middlesbrough.

Despite the relegation in his third year at the club, Southgate emphasized the valuable experience gained from managing in the Premier League, suggesting that no job in world football would intimidate him after leading the England national team. While Southgate appears content in his current role, he remains open to future opportunities, acknowledging that his tenure with the national team will not be indefinite.

As he prepares for his fourth major tournament with England at Euro 2024, Southgate’s future beyond the summer remains uncertain. Should Manchester United fail to secure Southgate, other potential candidates reportedly include Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, and Graham Potter. As the club enters a new era under co-ownership, the search for a new manager is crucial for United’s future success.
