I don't think Southgate is any big shakes , but he'd be better than ETH. You might see somewhat safety first style football, but he has better knowledge of the PL than ETH did (as that clearly shows ), and I reckon he'd steady the ship and tighten things up at least.
I'm not clued into the European leagues so I don't know who else would be a good fit at united ( other than Ancelotti, perhaps), but as we've seen, continental managers to the PL are much riskier as the game in Spain/Italy is different. So in that respect, Southgate would probably be the best of a mediocre bunch of british-style managers , at this stage
