Manchester United 'want to bring in Gareth Southgate's England coaching staff'

Southgate continues to be heavily linked with the managerial role at Old Trafford, with current boss Erik ten Hag not being publicly backed by incoming minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Ten Hag is said to be involved in the conversations for this summer's transfer window, but the Dutchman's position at the helm is far from secure, with Ratcliffe and his INEOS team weighing up all of their options.

According to The Sun, should Southgate leave England to move to Old Trafford, then the Red Devils will look to bring his coaching staff to the club as part of a revamp.

The report claims that Southgate's assistant Steve Holland would be wanted by the club alongside coaches Paul Nevin and Martyn Margetson.

Holland was Chelsea's assistant manager between 2011 and 2017, and he has worked alongside Southgate at international level since 2013.

Nevin, meanwhile, balances his coaching role at England with a position on Patrick Vieira's staff at Strasbourg.

The 54-year-old, who is in his second spell on the staff with the Three Lions, has also previously worked as a first-team coach at West Ham United.

Margetson, meanwhile, has been England's goalkeeping coach since 2017, and he has previously worked for Cardiff City, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Everton and Swansea City.

Southgate's contract with England expires at the end of the year, and the Three Lions manager recently admitted that his staff could soon leave their roles with the national team.

«There's a fair chance half the coaches won't be here after the Euros. That's international football,» Southgate told
