🚨 BREAKING: Gareth Southgate will reportedly reject any approach from Manchester United to replace under-pressure boss Rúben Amorim, according to Mirror Football.
The England manager, who has long been linked with a possible return to club football, is said to have no interest in taking on the Old Trafford job at this stage, despite the ongoing turmoil surrounding United’s season.
Southgate has been repeatedly mentioned in boardroom conversations at Manchester United due to his calm leadership style and ability to nurture young talent. However, insiders insist that the 54-year-old remains fully focused on England’s 2026 World Cup campaign and sees no benefit in walking away now, especially with his reputation still strong at international level. He is also aware of the immense pressure, divided fanbase, and short-term instability that has plagued United managers in recent years.
Interestingly, even large sections of the Manchester United fanbase are said to be quietly relieved by Southgate’s stance. While respected for his work with the England national team, many United supporters have voiced concerns that his pragmatic, conservative footballing philosophy would not match the club’s attacking traditions. Fans on social media reacted with a mix of humor and relief, some joking that Southgate’s “decline” was the best decision he could make for United’s future.
For now, this news only adds to the rollercoaster drama at Old Trafford. With Amorim’s exit looking increasingly inevitable, United are still searching for the right candidate to restore authority and stability. Southgate’s refusal effectively rules him out of contention, narrowing the field and intensifying the pressure on INEOS to identify a manager who can balance results with identity. One thing is certain: the hunt for Amorim’s successor just became more complicated.
United’s next chapter remains wide
open. ⏳
