Gareth Southgate ‘Top Choice’ for Manchester United

Manchester United continues to regard England manager Gareth Southgate as their top choice to replace Erik ten Hag this summer.

Despite winning the FA Cup against arch-rivals Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, marking his second trophy in two seasons, Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford remains unclear.

The Dutchman’s second season in charge was largely disappointing, and the club’s hierarchy has been undergoing a post-season assessment that could yet see them opt for a change in the dugout for the next campaign.

United ended the 2023-24 Premier League season in eighth place and failed to make it out of the group stage in the Champions League.

Aside from Southgate, United has been linked with several big-name managers in recent weeks, including Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank, and former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino
