🚨 Talk about rumors spiraling out of control! England's manager Gareth Southgate didn't hold back when addressing whispers about him possibly taking over at Manchester United. During a press conference on Friday, he called the speculation \\"completely disrespectful\\".
Southgate, who's been at the helm of the \\"Three Lions\\" for over seven years now, is laser-focused on leading the team to victory at the upcoming UEFA European Championship next June in Germany. Fun fact: England has yet to snag the Euro trophy in the past 16 editions! 🏆
Speaking ahead of Friday's friendly against Brazil 🇧🇷, Southgate said, \\"I think there are two things from my point of view. One is that I'm the England manager. I've got one job basically – to try and deliver a European Championship. Clearly before that, there are two important games this week.\\"
He didn't stop there: \\"Second thing is, Manchester United have a manager and I think it is always completely disrespectful when there is a manager in place. I'm president of the LMA [League Managers' Association] so I don't have any time for that sort of thing really.\\"
So there you have it, folks! Southgate is all in for England's Euro quest and isn't entertaining any sideline distractions. 🎯
Guess the transfer rumor mill will have to find someone else to speculate about! 🤷♂️
