It makes sense, he's doing really well."IncompleteSteven Gerrard says he has 'unfinished business' in management.The Liverpool legend was last with Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, who he left in January by mutual consent.Gerrard also managed Rangers and Aston Villa, and is expected to be considered at the former after they sacked Russell Martin.He was a guest on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, and said "I know where I'm strong and I know there's areas where I need good support."And I need special skill sets to make me better and stronger, in terms of my staff and my group."I felt like I had that to a tee at Rangers, I had it to a tee. I'm happy doing what I'm doing."Harry hopesHarry Maguire wants to extend his stay at Manchester United, talkSPORT understands.However, the centre-back is likely to have to take a large pay-cut to do so.Maguire's contract expires at the end of the season and he is keen to stay beyond the summer.But with INEOS looking to reduce their wage bill, it's unlikely that the 32-year-old will be offered the same salary he's on now.Maguire is understood to be earning around £190,000-a-week.You can read more transfer and manager news in our notebook here.Who?Simon Jordan has suggested a shock name for the Rangers vacancy.The Gers are looking for their successor to Russell Martin after his dismal four-month tenure in charge.And Jordan believes they should go for an experienced manager, with former Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez catching his eye."In a couple of words, do you have a name in your mind who you would appoint at Rangers?" asked Jim White on White and Jordan."Someone we bumped into at the airport the other day," Jordan said, and when White asked if it was Benitez, he nodded his head.talkSPORT understands that former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is expected to be considered for the job.But Jordan has questioned why the Scottish giants would return to the Liverpool legend."Gerrard's failed in his last two opportunities to manage [Aston Villa and Al Ettifaq]," he said.Gerrard won the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership title at Rangers, but Jordan downplayed the achievement."He had a moment in time at Rangers, had a very different Celtic at that time, that were not in the best nick."OK, they're not in the best nick now, but they are streets ahead of Rangers still.

I understood what it meant to play for the football club and the badge."If I had the chance, and I've said it many times, if I had the chance to go to that club in any sort of capacity, for me, it's a no-brainer."Kane to remainHarry Kane has downplayed talk of a potential Premier League return.The England captain continues to excel in front of goal for Bayern Munich having recently surpassed the 100-goal mark in Germany.Kane has scored 103 goals in 106 appearances for Bayern, with 18 of those coming in the 2025/26 campaign.talkSPORT reported last month that his release clause will drop from £67million to £56m next summer.Thomas Frank, head coach at his former club Tottenham, said: "If he wants to join us, he’s more than welcome."However, Kane has seemingly shut down a return as he said: "In terms of staying longer [at Bayern], I could definitely see that."I spoke openly a couple of weeks ago that I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet, but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation."Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes and what we achieve together. Right now, I would say we are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else."In terms of the Premier League, I don't know.

If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back."Now I have been there a couple of years I would probably say that has gone down a little bit, but I wouldn't say I would never go back."What I have learnt in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. I am very happy with the players."We are getting balance in the league, we are under expectation for our demands."We know the Premier League is so, so difficult, and to keep the same consistency that we had the last in the last three years is not easy."But we want to feel comfortable, getting the way progressively after our poor start."There is still work to do, and still players to add to us, getting better, getting confidence."
