Gareth Southgate told to stay as England boss and follow Sir Alex Ferguson example

Gareth Southgate has been urged to remain in charge of the England national team and follow Sir Alex Ferguson's example for greater success.

Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has suggested that there are aspects of Ferguson's illustrious reign at Old Trafford that Southgate should take inspiration from if he is to eventually end England's lengthy wait for a major honour. The Three Lions are still reeling from their recent World Cup elimination at the hands of France.

Hopes were high for England out in Qatar after some impressive group-stage performances before brushing aside Senegal in the round of 16, but their journey came to an end with a controversial defeat by Les Bleus. Southgate's men were on the wrong end of some questionable officiating before Harry Kane missed a late penalty.
