Gary Neville and Roy Keane believe Gareth Southgate could be the next Manchester United manager especially due to his connection with incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth. While Southgate’s success with England at the upcoming European Championship is noted, questions arise about his transition from international to club management.

Neville and Keane see Southgate as a potential replacement if Erik ten Hag departs from United with Ashworth’s influence playing a key role. Ian Wright finds it inappropriate to speculate on Erik ten Hag’s future or Southgate’s potential move while focusing on the EURO. Wright suggests that Ten Hag may be given time by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, while Southgate’s demeanor and stature make him a fitting candidate for the United job.
