Another candidate emerges for Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate has sensationally emerged as a shock candidate for the Manchester United job, according to reports.

United will appoint a permanent new boss in the summer with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in interim charge following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last month.

Mauricio Pochettino is the Red Devils’ top target but Old Trafford chiefs are becoming increasingly concerned he will stay at Tottenham , according to The Telegraph.

And those worries have seen the club hierarchy ponder a swoop for Southgate who led England to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia.

The former Middlesbrough boss signed a new deal with the FA in October to take him to the Qatar World Cup in 2022 and has spoken of his commitment to the national team.
