The event at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, which was raising money for St Oswald’s Hospice, Gosforth, was also attended by Newcastle’s squad.
Asked if Southgate had visited the training ground, United’s head coach said: “Yes he did. It was great to have him with us yesterday.
"I’ve got a really good relationship with Gareth, I really respect him. He spoke at a dinner last night that Graeme Jones hosted for a local hospice, St Oswald’s. It was an incredible night, and hopefully a lot of money was raised.”
