Rubén Amorim, Manchester United coach, has denied that Manchester City have approached him to replace Pep Guardiola.
Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag during the November international break.
Before that, the 39-year-old was linked with the City job, after former sporting director Hugo Viana joined the Premier League champions.

“When Man Utd spoke to me I had no doubts.
“I already had something in mind that could be a possibility.
