Today, The Sports Agents discuss the story that simply won't go away - will England manager Gareth Southgate replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, after the Euros this summer?

Gabby & Mark are joined by The Telegraph's James Ducker to explore his links to the owners, INEOS 'best of British' blueprint, Southgate's tactical identity and track-record of lead the sort of cultural reset Man United may still need.

And later, Director Helen Tither and Corinthians FC legend Monica Curran join the show to talk about Corinthians: We Were the Champions - and crowdfunding for a documentary about one of the finest football teams - who actually played during the ban on Women's football in the UK.

... Which leads perfectly into an appreciation of Man City and former England captain Steph Houghton - who has announced she'll be retiring at the end of the season.
