Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has dismissed rumours linking him to the vacant Manchester United managerial role.
The Dutchman was linked with a move to Old Trafford during a difficult run under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and, following the departure of the Norwegian boss on Sunday, rumours continue to swirl.
However, Ten Hag has played down questions over a switch to England, telling reporters: "My focus is on Ajax, the rest only distracts."
When asked further about his future, the 51-year-old said: "It's a weird question. I heard nothing about it [Man United job], so I can't think about it."
The Ajax boss has been said to be open to discussions with the Red Devils, should they make a concrete approach, with Michael Carrick taking temporary charge of the eight-placed side while the hierarchy search for a Solskjaer replacement.
Under Ten Hag's tutelage, Ajax currently sit at the summit of the Eredivisie, while they also boast a perfect record in the Champions League, winning all four of their group games so far, having scored 14 goals and conceded just two at the other end of the pitch.
