Gareth Southgate outlines future plans after being linked to Man United

After being linked to the Manchester United job, England manager Gareth Southgate maintains that his attention is still on the European Championships this summer.

Southgate is ready to lead England in the Euros this summer but it could be his final tournament with the Three Lions.

The England boss has been linked with a move to Man United after uncertainty surrounding the future of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover of the Red Devils, Southgate has been paired with the Premier League club.

Southgate’s contract with the England national team will expire at the end of the year and he has been named as one of the candidates Man United are considering to replace Ten Hag.

When asked in an interview with ITV about him being one of the favourites for the England job, Southgate said:

‘I’m not a big gambling man and bookies, they can make their odds but it’s not conversations that’s been had with me.’

‘If I start talking about that, then I’m already distracted from what I’m doing.

‘So, I think the country would expect that my focus is on England, and rightly so it is.

‘We’ve had three tournaments where we’ve taken the public on a brilliant ride. I think we know that and I know that you’ve got that desire to go that one step further and this is a brilliant opportunity for us to do that.’
