Manchester United say it will to bring England’s entire coaching staff to Old Trafford this summer if they sack Ten Hag and replace him with Gareth Southgate.
Gareth Southgate is now the red-hot favourite to replace Erik Ten Hag if the Dutchman is axed at the end of the season.
And sources close to United say the club wants the England manager, his assistant Steve Holland and coaches Paul Nevin and Martyn Margetson.
A source said: “There is a huge amount of admiration within Old Trafford for the job Gareth and his coaching staff have done with England in recent years.
“They recognise that success is not just about Southgate, it’s also about the DNA he’s built within his coaching squad at England.
“So any move for Gareth would also mean a move for his lieutenants as this would help ensure he has the best chance of making a success of things at Manchester United.
“Jim Ratcliffe and his team are determined that the club really returns to its roots which is why there is a massive focus on young players and recruiting the best of British.
“The club also thinks Gareth has shown in his job with England that he can handle big characters and big personalities, so he wouldn’t be phased by managing at a club like United.
“One of the biggest draws for United is that Southgate would immediately have the support of the spine of English players running through the club – Maguire, Shaw, Mainoo and Rashford, which would give him a solid base from which to build.
