Manchester United told they should have appointed Gareth Southgate instead of Erik ten Hag

A former Liverpool midfielder has suggested that Manchester United would have been better off appointing Gareth Southgate over Erik ten Hag.

The Three Lions boss has guided the national team to a World Cup semi-final and a European Championship final in his first two major tournaments. And now, England are one of the favourites to lift the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

He’s managed to instil an aura of togetherness back into the squad and has not been afraid to offer youngsters a chance. Southgate has also shown his no-nonsense side, dropping both Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood when they broke Covid-19 rules during their trip to Iceland in late 2020.
