Manchester United deny they met Bayern Munich manager Pep
Guardiola to discuss the possibility of him replacing current boss Louis van
Gaal. France Football says the meeting
took place last week in Paris, but United insist the story is not true.
Guardiola, 45, will leave Bayern Munich this summer and said
he has several offers from English clubs. Manchester City are favourites to
recruit the Spaniard, but Chelsea and United have also been linked with him.
Van Gaal's future at Old Trafford has been a source of
almost constant speculation in recent weeks. The Dutchman has come under
pressure from fans and former United players for the club's indifferent form
and playing style.
United are fifth in the table, two points adrift of
Tottenham in fourth. Guardiola's impending move to the Premier League have
increased speculation about his possible destination,
The former Barcelona boss recently apologised for putting managers
under pressure with his announcement. "It was not my intention to offend
anybody," he said. "Normally in my career as a trainer and as a
player, I respect my colleagues a lot." Bayern Munich held a training camp
in Doha during the Bundesliga winter break and will resume their campaign at
Hamburg on Friday.
