England Boss Gareth Southgate is set to become the new manager of surprising Premier League club

There are three possible substitutes for Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford that Manchester United are “assessing.” One of them is Gareth Southgate.

Ten Hag has had a rough season at Manchester United, and the team’s new partial owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is looking for managers to take over in the summer.

It was said by ESPN that “options are being explored to gauge credentials and availability of possible replacements.”

There are three managers that Ratcliffe and Ineos are “evaluating.” They are Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton, and Thomas Frank of Brentford.

“Everyone is looking at De Zerbi,” a source told ESPN, referring to rumours that Chelsea, Barcelona, Liverpool, and other teams are interested in the player.

While Frank is likely being overlooked, his “success at building a high-energy team at Brentford while embracing the London club’s data-led approach to recruitment has earned him admirers at Old Trafford.”

Southgate is a “outsider” for the job because he hasn’t played club football since being fired by Middlesbrough in 2009, but he is still a possibility and hasn’t decided if he will stay with England after Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate is the boss of England.
But Southgate’s close working relationship with Dan Ashworth, who is soon to be the sports director of Manchester United, could be very important. The two worked together while Ashworth was the FA’s head of elite development for six years.
Even if fifth place is good enough based on England’s UEFA coefficient, United would still have to catch up to Tottenham, who have played one less game, by six points in order to qualify for the Champions League.

Ten Hag’s “reputation remains high in Europe,” especially in Germany, where Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and VfB Stuttgart may all be interested in hiring him as manager after the season is over. The club is said to know this.
