England Manager Gareth Southgate says he won’t listen to any job offers until after Euro 2024.
His comments come as speculation linking him to Manchester United surfaced few days ago
Southgate’s current England contract expires in December and he is yet to agree a new deal ahead of his fourth major tournament with the national team.
The 53-year-old is reportedly United’s top target to replace the under-fire Ten Hag if Old Trafford co-owner Jim Ratcliffe decided to sack the Dutchman.
Southgate on Friday said contract talks with the Football Association are on hold, with his full focus on leading England to their first men’s international trophy since the 1966 World Cup.
Southgate is said to have a good relationship with Dave Brailsford, who is part of Ratcliffe’s football operations team at United.
He is also on good terms with Newcastle sporting director Dan Ashworth — another potential candidate to move to Old Trafford according to reports.
Southgate’s stock is high after leading England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, the European Championship final in 2021 and the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar a year later.
Irrespective of whether the chance to join United eventually comes up, Southgate said he will not speak to anyone until after the Euros.
