    FA chief executive Mark Bullingham says he has received "no approaches" for England manager Gareth Southgate, but hinted that the governing body has a "succession plan" if he leaves.

    Southgate's contract is due to expire in December after eight years in charge, and he has strongly suggested that failure to win Euro 2024 could see the end of his tenure.

    The 53-year-old has been linked with a possible move to Manchester United, although the club has decided to keep manager Erik ten Hag following a post-season review.

    "We are sitting down after the tournament together and will talk about everything," said Bullingham, when asked if he was keen for Southgate to remain in his role.

    "Gareth has been really clear that he wants to talk about that after the tournament. I don’t want to provide any distraction for him and the team. I want to respect [that].

    "I would say I think the world of Gareth, I think he has done a phenomenal job. I think he has transformed the fortunes of our team, and that’s not just off the pitch, and you can see the culture, but also the performances on the pitch.

    "Since 1966, he has won about half of our knockout games, which is a measure we really use, so we value him massively."
