Ralph Hasenhuttl plays down links to Manchester United job having worked with Ralf Rangnick at RB Leipzig... but jokes 'it shows that we don't do everything wrong' at Southampton

Ralph Hasenhuttl says he is not giving any time to suggestions he could be a contender for the Manchester United job.

Southampton manager Hasenhuttl has been touted for the role having led Southampton to the top half, with the Saints currently ninth in the Premier League after a strong run of form.

The Austrian reportedly impressed Old Trafford chiefs with his results against United this season and also their neighbours Manchester City, holding both clubs to two draws.

Rangnick will have a say in who becomes boss when he takes a consultancy role this summer

At RB Leipzig Hasenhuttl also worked with Ralf Rangnick who is currently United's interim manager, so the pair already know each other well.
