EPL: ‘I want to be head coach’ – O’Neil on Man Utd’s interest

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has claimed there is “no truth” in Manchester United’s reported interest in him.

However, he admitted it was an honour to be linked with the Red Devils.

There were reports that United wanted to talk to O’Neil about a coaching role at Old Trafford.

But O’Neil insists he always wants to be a head coach.

The 40-year-old said: “Growing up, Liverpool and Manchester United always felt special. It’s an honour to be linked, even if there’s no truth in it.

“I love it here [at Wolves]. I’m a head coach. I’m always going to be a head coach. I’m really enjoying my time at Wolves. I was only made aware of it [the links] by the media team to prepare for your questions.”
