Adele and Man Utd - Southgate's Desert Island Discs

Gareth Southgate has told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that he made his decision to leave his job as England manager before the end of Euro 2024.

The 54-year-old, who is a guest on the latest episode of the long-running programme, chose Adele's Someone Like You as one of the eight songs he would take with him if cast away to a desert island, explaining to presenter Lauren Laverne that he "kept playing it towards the end of the last Euros" because "I knew I was going to be leaving".

Southgate resigned as manager in July, two days after England were beaten 2-1 by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
