England coach Gareth Southgate has dismissed questions about the Manchester United job.

Southgate has been linked with Erik ten Hag's job at United.

"I am not a high-stakes man and the betting companies can set their odds, but there are no conversations that have been had with me," Southgate told ITV News.

Southgate took over the national team in 2016, after coaching the U21 national team.

"I have one thing to focus on. It is to have as successful a tournament with England as possible. Everything else outside is completely irrelevant to me."

Southgate previously managed Middlesbrough, but he has no plans to return to club football.

"If I start talking about all that, I'm already distracted from what I'm doing. I think the country expects me to have my focus on England, and I really am."
