The Football Association expect Phil Neville to remain England Women manager “for the foreseeable future” despite reports elsewhere that he is considering his resignation, Telegraph Sport understands.

Neville has come under increased scrutiny after an underwhelming SheBelieves Cup that took the 43-year-old’s record to seven defeats in their last eleven games - with five of those defeats coming against lower-ranked nations.

There have been reports that Neville is considering his future as England manager and could be set to call time on his two-year England tenure with 15 months remaining on his contract - but a senior FA source has dismissed these suggestions as “nonsense”.

The FA do not believe that he has plans to resign at a meeting with FA officials next week - which, the source said, is “purely a regular meeting after any tournament camp to review and plan for the next. Phil remains England manager and will do for the foreseeable".

The FA had previously suggested that they still would not have sacked him even if he had lost all three SheBelieves Cup games.

On Monday, Neville insisted that the FA “have utter faith in what we are doing”. He added: “when I look at the situation and myself, I will know myself if it is not working. I will know if it’s time to go, and they know that I’m that type of person.”

Publicly, Neville retains the backing of his players.

Forward Nikita Parris insisted: "I do trust in what he wants to do. It’s us - we are not delivering.

"Too many of us are living off the hype of the World Cup. We haven’t improved and we have to take responsibility. Phil has protected us for far too long and ultimately we have got to step up."
