Gareth Southgate Says He's Happy as England Manager Amid Manchester United Links

England manager Gareth Southgate says he's honoured to serve at the helm of the national team and politely dismissed rumours linking him with the permanent position at Manchester United.

Sky Sports recently cited sources reporting Southgate, 48, was being considered to take over from interim United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the Three Lions chief responded to the channel, suggesting he's happy where he is (h/t Metro):

"I'm the England manager and it's a privileged position to be in. We've had the best year for 28 years and we've got a semi-final this summer and a European Championship that's predominantly at Wembley, providing we take care of business to qualify.
