Gareth Southgate’s future as England manager has been a subject of much speculation in recent months, with Manchester United reportedly interested in the 52-year-old should they decide to part ways with current boss Erik ten Hag.
Southgate, who has been in charge of the Three Lions since 2016, has overseen a period of significant progress for the national team. He guided England to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and the Euro 2020 final, where they were beaten on penalties by Italy.
However, England’s recent form has been somewhat underwhelming, with the team failing to win any of their last six matches in the Nations League. This has led to some questioning Southgate’s suitability for the role, with some fans calling for a change in direction.

Manchester United are one of the clubs that have been linked with a move for Southgate. The Red Devils are currently going through a period of transition under ten Hag, and there is no guarantee that the Dutchman will be a success at Old Trafford.
Southgate’s contract with the FA expires after the European Championships this summer. He has previously indicated that he is open to discussing a new deal, but it remains to be seen whether he will be keen to take on the challenge of managing a club like Manchester United, especially if England perform well at the Euros.
According to the Mirror, Southgate is not afraid of challenges and is confident in his abilities. The article also suggests that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Southgate’s situation and could make a move for him if they decide to sack ten Hag.
