Erik ten Hag takes swipe at Gareth Southgate's tactics in Euro 2024 opener following rumours England boss could replace him at Man Utd

The Three Lions scraped through in their first game of the tournament as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-player-ratings-vs-serbia-jude-bellingham-bukayo-saka/blt2fa071fbbb381c0e" target="_blank">edged out Serbia</a> on Sunday courtesy of an early strike from Jude Bellingham.
