Manchester United could reportedly hire England boss Gareth Southgate if they sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Gareth Southgate is the latest manager linked with succeeding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.
The England manager led the Three Lions to the World Cup semi-finals last summer, where they lost to Croatia.
Solskjaer is under pressure at Old Trafford as United sit 10th in the Premier League table, eight points outside of the Champions League places.
The Norwegian is not expected to be sacked unless the club finds itself in a crisis.
A huge rebuilding job is required as the Red Devils continue to struggle with life after Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, there is some bad blood between the two parties as Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to stop Southgate from entering management in the first place.
In 2006 Southgate replaced Steve McClaren as Middlesbrough manager but he needed special permission from Premier League clubs because he had not fully completely his Pro Licence badge
