Ten Hag looks set to be sacked by the Red Devils at the end of the season and Southgate has emerged as a contender for the job. The manager is currently in his third job as a head coach, having previously been in charge of Middlesbrough and the England Under-21s before taking over the senior team. The 53-year-old has not won any major silverware in his managerial career, but <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/08/man-utd-manager-gareth-southgate-if-erik-ten-hag-sacked/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> reports United will not base their decision on candidates' trophy collection.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Southgate is reportedly one of the preferred options among the United hierarchy, but it has also been said that he, Zinedine Zidane and Julian Nagelsmann all have serious doubts about taking the job due to ongoing issues at the club. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-thomas-tuchel-frontrunner-next-man-utd-manager-england-gareth-southgate-erik-ten-hag/blt058b86130b160aef" target="_blank">Thomas Tuchel is also said to be well thought</a> of in the boardroom at Old Trafford.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United have decided not to sack Ten Hag before the end of the season despite his team's woeful performances. They <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-man-utd-record-premier-league-defeats-red-devilscrystal-palace/blte395304eac554bac" target="_blank">suffered a record 13th Premier League defeat</a> when they went down 4-0 to Crystal Palace on Monday. However, they will wait until after the FA Cup final against Manchester City before letting him go.

DID YOU KNOW?

United will continue weighing their options as they search for the ideal successor to Ten Hag and start rebuilding at the end of another disappointing season. They could still have an important say in the Premier League title race when they take on contenders Arsenal on Sunday.
