Gareth Southgate is ready to become the new manager of Manchester United, but with only one condition.
On 6 Jan 2026 GMT+7, following the announcement that "the Red Devils" Manchester United, a giant club in the English Premier League, have dismissed Ruben Amorim from the manager position due to internal conflicts within the club, ending his tenure after 14 months.
Recently, The Sun, a prominent English tabloid, reported that former England manager Gareth Southgate is ready to accept the position of new manager at Manchester United but requires a four-year period to work.
Southgate is concerned that the board will demand immediate success from him, while his approach focuses on achieving success step by step over the long term.
Southgate, 55, has been unemployed since resigning as England's national team manager after leading the Three Lions to a runner-up finish at Euro 2024, losing 1-2 to Spain in the final.
Southgate's notable achievements include guiding England to the 2018 World Cup semifinals, the 2022 quarterfinals, and the finals of Euro 2020 and 2024.
