England coach Gareth Southgate is being linked with the Manchester United job.

The Daily Mail says United WILL consider sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if results do not improve at Old Trafford this season — with England manager Gareth Southgate a leading contender to take over after Euro 2020.

While Mauricio Pochettino is generally regarded as the front-runner should a vacancy arise at Old Trafford, Southgate is seen as a good fit to continue United's policy of promoting youth and to act as a responsible figurehead.

He is a regular visitor to United's training ground as England manager and admires the way the club develops players.

In return, United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been impressed by how the England team has evolved under Southgate's leadership.
