Former England boss Gareth Southgate has no intention to join Manchester United if Ruben Amorim is sacked. Here’s the latest update on United’s managerial saga.

The Situation at Old Trafford

Manchester United’s hierarchy continues to assess the future of Ruben Amorim, who has been under growing pressure after a stuttering start to life at Old Trafford. While reports suggest the club may wait until after November 1 to avoid paying higher compensation, speculation has already turned toward possible successors.

Names like Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino, Marco Silva, and Andoni Iraola have all been linked. However, one high-profile candidate has ruled himself out.

Southgate Says “No”

According to a report from the Daily Star, Gareth Southgate would reject any approach from Manchester United should Amorim be dismissed. The Ex-England manager, who was replaced by Thomas Tuchel to lead the Three Lions for Euro 2028 qualification and beyond, has no intention of coming to pick up the current role for club football at this stage.

Southgate has built significant trust with the Football Association (FA).

What This Means for United

For Manchester United, this revelation narrows their list of realistic managerial options. With Southgate out of the frame, the club must decide whether to give Amorim more time or accelerate their contingency planning.

The situation adds another layer of uncertainty at Old Trafford, where fan frustration is growing, and stability feels distant.

Key Takeaway

While speculation around Amorim’s future intensifies, Southgate’s firm stance ensures United will have to look elsewhere if a managerial change occurs. For now, all eyes remain on results  and whether Amorim can buy himself more time in the hot seat.
