Club or country?

GARETH SOUTHGATE is a wanted man.

And it appears he has a choice between two of the most high-profile and demanding jobs in world football.

It has emerged Manchester United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made Southgate his No.1 choice to replace Erik ten Hag, should the Dutchman be sacked this summer.

But on the opposite end of the rope in this managerial tug of war is the Football Association, who are determined not to let Southgate slip from their grasp.

FA bosses regard him as God's gift to the national game, following his stellar work with the England team since 2016.

He's led the Three Lions to a World Cup semi-final and Euros final.

England are ranked the third-best team in the world thanks to Southgate, and will head to the Euros this summer as one of the favourites to win it.

But despite his stock being high, news that he is being lined up to take charge of United will leave some supporters underwhelmed.
