Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Real Madrid to beat Man Utd to €100m Van de Beek

Southgate: I'm not going anywhere

England manager Gareth Southgate says he has no intention of leaving his post before his current contract ends in 2022.

The former Middlesbrough boss has been linked with Tottenham among other clubs but, at 49 years old, has plenty of time ahead of him to think about his career further down the line.

"I'm the England manager and it's a massive privilege to do the job," Southgate said. "There's a lot of work to do here with the team.

"We think the team can continue to improve, and until I'm told otherwise, 2022 is my contract, and that's it."

Bruce: Longstaff has to forget Man Utd links

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce says Sean Longstaff has to forget the summer's transfer stories linking him with a big-money move to Manchester United.

Bruce said he could understand the 21-year-old having his head turned by one of the world's biggest clubs, but that he never really imagined the story would go anywhere.

"I think Sean now needs to concentrate on his own performances, rather than worrying about speculation and tittle-tattle," Bruce said. "I don’t think there was any real legs in the Manchester United story."

Man Utd dismiss Pogba contract demand talk

Manchester United have denied reports claiming Paul Pogba is demanding £600,000 ($740,000) per week to sign a new contract at the club, according to the Mirror.

Pogba's current deal at Old Trafford runs until 2021, though he has been consistently linked with Real Madrid and Juventus.

However, United are thought to be firm in their desire to keep the 26-year-old at the club, and they reportedly believe time is on their side when it comes to a new deal.

Real Madrid are favourites to sign Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek, according to the Mirror.
