England coach Gareth Southgate is being discussed at Manchester United, it has been claimed.'

The Sun says United are considering making a move for Southgate to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The former Middlesbrough boss has seen his stock skyrocket after an impressive stint in charge of the Three Lions.

But Southgate may harbour feelings of animosity towards United after the club attempted to block his initial move into management.

The 49-year-old became Boro boss in 2006 when Steve McClaren left to take the England job following the dismissal of Sven Goran Eriksson.

But due to the fact Southgate was still taking his coaching Pro Licence badge, his appointment on Teesside needed to be approved by other Premier League teams.

United were the only top flight outfit to reject Southgate's appointment, meaning it was passed by 19 votes to one.
