England Manager Gareth Southgate has been appointed as the manager of Manchester United after the sacking for Erig Ten Hag this evening

Despite speculations tying Gareth Southgate to Manchester United after Euro 2024, he has declared he is “completely calm” regarding his future.

Though Erik ten Hag’s future is yet unknown, the England manager has discounted any idea of conversations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS administration ahead of the summer’s event.

On any list of possible successors for Ten Hag, Southgate is thought to be highly esteemed by the new decision-makers at Old Trafford and would be a top candidate. The 58-year-old has stressed his concentration on the national team, though.

With Southgate managing a gifted team containing captain Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Declan Rice among others, England are presently the bookies’ favourite for Euro 2024. These players know that this could be the final chance for their manager to land any medals.

Although Southgate’s contract expires at the end of the year, his future is yet unknown; yet, the FA most certainly will advocate a renewal independent of the outcome of this summer’s competition. Though for now Southgate is only thinking ahead; a return to club management might be in store.

“When I was 23 as a player, I would have been nervous about it,” he said to GQ upon inquiry about his future intentions. “I would have been worried about it when I was 37, a young manager. But since life will carry on whatever happens, I am 53 now and am very at peace with it,” says the Express, citing GQ.

” Making a choice before an event seems improper as well. When Fabio (Capello) signed a new deal before the World Cup 2010, everyone remarked: ‘What the bloody hell are they doing? He ought to be showing himself during the competition.

“Perhaps I would feel differently if I were two years into the job. But eight years in here, and for me, all of my attention is on one thing: how can I bring this squad to win?”

With INEOS unlikely to wait idle until the end of the Euros if they are intending to release Ten Hag, whose fate is due to be settled this week, Southgate’s current situation may limit his possibility of making the transfer from England to United.

But Southgate’s main focus will be guiding England towards European glory, fully aware that any victory may unexpectedly be ascribed to their nutrition.

“Meals are crucial,” he said, “but also sociable. There’s the refueling component. Like my children, I want to dine with them as often as we can since (that’s where you learn how they truly are).

“That said, we are aware of the fact that many individuals get on one other’s nerves after a while if you have ever been on a family trip for any duration of time.”
