Everton boss David Moyes has dismissed reports that he is set to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as manager at Manchester United.
Recent reports have suggested Ferguson has told the Old Trafford board that he wants Moyes to succeed him at the end of next season.
Moyes has worked wonders at Everton during his eight years at Goodison Park and is regarded as one of the best managers in the Premier League.
But he has moved to play down his chances of taking over from Ferguson at United.
"It was Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Roy Keane being mentioned not long ago," Moyes told the Daily Record.
"When my players are linked with clubs, it annoys me. So I don't want to go into any of it.
"But as far as I'm concerned, this is a load of nonsense.
"What I will say is I think it will be a terrible day when Sir Alex does finish.
"He is someone all the football managers look up to, they all respect him."
