Manchester United next manager latest: England boss Gareth Southgate rules himself out of the running
Gareth Southgate has distanced himself from taking over at Manchester United this summer.Reports towards the end of the year suggested the England boss was in contention to replace Jose Mourinho on a full-time basis.2

Southgate seems set to stay with England for the foreseeable future

The Portuguese was sacked after a woeful start to the season in December and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was placed in temporary charge at Old Trafford.Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino was initially installed as the bookies favourites for the role, but Solskjaer has turned the tide for the Red Devils with seven consecutive wins in all competitions.Southgate was also in contention to be appointed for the role following his stellar 2018 with the Three Lions, but the former Middlesbrough boss has now ruled himself out completely.He told Sky Sports News: “I’m the England manager and it’s a privileged position to be in.

Gareth Southgate's record in charge of England

• Matches: 31
• Won: 17
• Drawn: 8
• Lost: 6
• Goals for: 49
• Goals against: 24
• Win Percentage (%): 68

“We’ve had the best year for 28 years and we’ve got a [Nations League] semi-final this summer and a European Championship [in 2020] that’s predominantly at Wembley, providing we take care of business to qualify.“So, it’s a hugely exciting time with the team. I don’t think we’ve progressed as far as we can yet. I think there’s room for us to grow.“I think there is a lot of importance in life about enjoying what you are doing.“I am still a young coach, I’ve managed fewer than 200 matches, so, for me, it’s an honour to be in the role I’m in and I thoroughly enjoy it.”2

The Three Lions will compete for the Nations League trophy in June

Despite fears the Three Lions would endure yet more disappointment at a major tournament, the 48-year-old led his country to the semi-finals for the World Cup in Russia.And then, in a group containing Spain and Croatia, Southgate managed to guide England to the semi-finals of the Nations League in Portugal this summer.
