Manchester United is rumored to be considering England’s national team manager, Gareth Southgate, as the top choice to succeed Erik ten Hag at the helm.
While it’s uncertain whether Manchester United will part ways with Ten Hag, reports suggest that if such a decision is made, Southgate, along with his England coaching team, would be the focus of interest for the club.

Southgate has achieved notable success with England, guiding them to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the Euro 2020 final, where they narrowly missed victory in a penalty shootout against Italy.
Despite his achievements, Southgate’s approach has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics pointing to his conservative tactics in significant matches.
With limited experience in club management, Southgate’s potential move to one of the world’s most prominent football clubs would be a significant transition.
Manchester United’s search for a new manager comes amid mixed results under Ten Hag, who previously led Ajax to impressive heights but has yet to replicate that success at Old Trafford.
As the club contemplates a fresh start, possibly under the new ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, Southgate’s candidacy presents a gamble.
His name isn’t typically linked with other elite managerial positions, in contrast to managers like Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi or Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, who are also garnering attention.
