Premier League club assessing Gareth Southgate as their next potential manager

Gareth Southgate is one of three possible replacements for Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford that Manchester United are “assessing.”

ten Hag has had a challenging season at Man United and new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is looking at managers to replace the Dutchman in the summer.

According to ESPN, “options are being explored to gauge credentials and availability of possible replacements.”

Ratcliffe and Ineos are “assessing” three managers: Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton, and Thomas Frank of Brentford.

One source told ESPN, “Everyone is looking at De Zerbi,” referring to rumours of interest from Chelsea, Barcelona, and Liverpool, among other teams.

Frank, on the other hand, is likely the one 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.”

Although Southgate is an “outsider” for the position and has not been involved in club football since being fired by Middlesbrough in 2009, he is still a candidate and has not made up his mind about staying with England beyond Euro 2024.
