Southgate has held direct talks with team co-owner Jim Ratliff in recent weeks, according to TALK SPORT. After finishing his partnership with England, he was willing to serve as head coach at Old Trafford.

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Grassena and Bournemouth coach Adoni Iraola are also on Manchester United's list of signings. The pair's performance in the Premier League was impressive and attracted the attention of several clubs.

Amorim is under tremendous pressure at Old Trafford and has not won two consecutive Premier League games since joining in November 2024. The Portuguese coach talked about his future at the club after a 3-1 loss to Brentford, saying he was not worried. He said through the BBC (via Sports Magazine):

Amorim won only 19 of his 49 matches and lost 21 of his 49 matches at United. TALK SPORT's report also said the firing could take place after November 1 to reduce the amount of compensation that needs to be paid to the coach.

"If you look at some of the well-known coaches who have been Manchester United's coach since Alex Ferguson left office, many of them have taken over the team but have not been able to successfully push the team forward in their own way. I know some Manchester United fans have reserved Gareth Southgate because his coaching style doesn't match the team, but looking at the achievements he has made for England, he may be the key to stabilizing the situation at Old Trafford. Key characters. "

" Manchester United is the pinnacle of English football, and I think Southgate will understand the arduousness of this task, because he has been the head coach of England for eight years. He will understand the pressure of this task and he will have better conditions to shoulder the heavy responsibility of getting United back on track. I don't want to see Ruben Amorim or any other coach lose their jobs, but having Gareth joins to reorganize the entire team is also a good choice. "
