Why does it have to be Gareth Southgate? Gareth Southgate might be considered an experienced coach and as we know he has coached the England national team for quite a long time but until now he has not had any good achievements that he can present. So I think Gareth Southgate is not the coach that Man United needs right now. Maybe it would be better if Man United tried to sign Xabi Alonso. He may not have much experience, but what I see is that he is a coach who has a winning mentality and I think this is the kind of coach that Man United should get.
Of course it doesn't have to be Southgate. I just talked about it because of the recent rumours going around.
There are surely better options with really good careers.I have already mentioned Conte as an example. He is familiar with the Premier League already you know. He has a nice history with Chelsea like winning a Premier League and an FA Cup titles. Maybe he would be considered as one of the candidates in case of deciding to sack Erik ten Hag. However there are new rumours like Sir Jim Ratcliffe can give another chance to Erik ten Hag for next season. If this happens they had better make their transfers properly in the summer.
There are still many things that need to be considered in filling Ten Hag's position in the future as coach of the Manchester United club. Yes, even though many candidates have been mentioned, such as Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank and Gareth Southgate, of course ESPN is still considering it carefully by looking at the credibility of each candidate to replace Ten Hag. This certainly won't be easy or fast.
If the rumors you convey above are true, then this will be a joy for the Manchester United players and their fans because during his time as coach, Ten Hag had a big influence on the progress and development of the Manchester United club during this time because he was under his guidance. Ten Hag's guidance, the Manchester United players performed enthusiastically and made the Manchester United club a popular club throughout the world.
