Danny Murphy has defended his view that Gareth Southgate would have been a safer bet for Manchester United than Erik ten Hag, but identified the man who was “ideal” for the manager’s position.
The former Liverpool midfielder previously stated that he would have chosen the Three Lions boss and assistant Steve Holland over Ten Hag and his incoming team of assistants. Southgate has taken England to a World Cup semi-final and a Euros final in his first two major tournaments as boss.
He’s also managed to instil a great camaraderie within England the squad, which Murphy highlighted as something that United desperately need. The Match Of The Day pundit has now defended his position on talkSPORT, clarifying his comments.
