Southgate linked with switch to Old Trafford

England manager Gareth Southgate is reportedly under consideration for the Manchester United job.

The bookmakers’ favourites to replace Jose Mourinho went head to head at Wembley yesterday, when Red Devils caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took on front-runner Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham.

But Southgate dominated talk ahead of the Premier League encounter after The Sunday Telegraph reported that United are considering an approach for the Three Lions boss due to increasing concerns that Pochettino will stay put.

Pochettino is still the favourite, and believed to be interested in the job, but for now United are continuing their extensive and thorough managerial search.
