Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl plays down taking the Manchester United job... after Saints defender Jan Bednarek insisted the Austrian boss deserves to manage 'the biggest teams in the world'

Ralph Hasenhuttl has laughed off being tipped for football's top jobs by his own Southampton players.

Jan Bednarek insisted Austrian boss Hasenhuttl deserves to manage 'the biggest teams in the world', with Saints 10th in the Premier League and suffering just one defeat in their last 10 games in all competitions.

Some pundits have claimed Hasenhuttl would prove a good fit at Manchester United given his prior working relationship with interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who is due to start a two-year consultancy role with the club in the summer.
