And according to ESPN, Southgate, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Brentford boss Thomas Frank are all being considered as potential successors. But the availability of the England man could well depend on how the Three Lions perform at Euro 2024. Southgate, 53, is yet to publicly confirm his intentions, having not worked in club football since leaving Middlesbrough in 2009. But United's move to make Richard Ashworth their new sporting director could well prove significant, with the pair having previously worked together at the FA. A final decision on the ex-Ajax man is still reportedly some way from being finalised, with United having the opportunity to salvage an underwhelming season.
