If Ruben Amorim is sacked, who will succeed him as Manchester United gaffer? While the guessing game is heating up among fans of the club, a report now claims that former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate has expressed willingness to take up the job with United higher-ups.

Gareth Southgate was offered the United job a year ago but decided to turn it down. The 55-year-old last coached a Premier League side in 2009 when he was at the helm of Middlesbrough FC. It was not a happy ending as Boro ended up getting relegated.

Ruben Amorim is under pressure as Manchester United's start to the 2025-26 Premier League season is their worst in 33 years. After their first four Premier League matches, United had secured just four points (one win, one draw, two losses), placing them 14th in the table. This is their lowest points tally at this stage since the English top-tier was rechristened as the Premier League in 1992-93. Portuguese Amorim had inherited the team midway through the previous season after Erik ten Hag was sacked following a rollercoaster campaign.
