Manchester United manager would ideally like to be identified

Manchester United have still not communicated a decision regarding current boss Erik ten Hag, despite discussions with other managers.

The Red Devils have been linked to England boss Southgate as a possible option, but there have been contrary claims over whether the 53-year-old is a genuine suitor.

Southgate has impressed with his work at major tournaments during his time as England manager and could add another feather to his cap this summer at Euro 2024.

He has been in the hot seat in England since 2016 and is well used to dealing with a pressure cooker environment.

Southgate, however, is fully focused on Euro 2024 and Manchester United must plan and prepare for next season.

Southgate's appointment appears irrelevant for Manchester United at present, as speculation over Ten Hag's future continues to burn, with little sign of Sir Jim Ratcliffe putting out the fire.
