Louis van Gaal, Manchester United manager, said it is unimaginable that the club has spoken with Jose Mourinho about replacing him at Old Trafford.
Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, has been heavily tipped to take over from Van Gaal by British media in recent weeks but the Dutch coach said he had heard nothing of the sort from United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the Old Trafford board.
"I can only say that I have spoken with Ed Woodward and I cannot imagine that they have spoken with each other. I think that if they speak with another manager, they would tell me because our relationship is like that," said Van Gaal
"I not only have a strong relationship with Ed, but also with the Glazers. And that is why I am annoyed with all the publicity. I have been 'sacked' three times and now it is about negotiations starting with Mourinho."
Fifth placed United travel to Sunderland on Saturday for their weekend Premier League fixture.
