Former international midfielder gives Gareth Southgate advice on his managerial futureDAZN
There's been much discussion on manager's next move.

Graeme Souness has told Gareth Southgate to stick with England and reject any charm offensive from Manchester United. 

Southgate's future post-Euro 2024 has been of much speculation during England's international friendlies, with the Three Lions boss linked with a possible move to Manchester United in the summer if Erik ten Hag was to lose his job.

United's new shareholder Jim Ratcliffe is a big fan of Southgate, which could lead to a move for the 53-year-old ahead of next season, if there was an opening at Old Trafford. 

However, speaking on talkSPORT, Souness has warned the England manager against a move to the Red Devils and to stick to continuing his good work with the national team. 

"This is a golden period for English football,’ Souness said.

"I would stick with this group of players if I was Southgate. I think they can only get better given the age group. Manchester United is an enormous job, Gareth had one go at club management and that didn’t go too well for him.

"He was very fortunate to get the job but now he’s in a glorious position. This group is getting better and better and haven’t peaked yet so I would sit tight.

"‘I don’t think it would be a good fit [for Southgate at Manchester United]. I’ve met him and he comes across as a thoroughly decent man.

"But that job carries a hell of a lot of weight. Every move and decision you make is scrutinised. My advice to him would be no. I don’t see there being a quick fix at United."
