The agent of Pep Guardiola is playing down rumours over his next move as Chelsea and Manchester United continue to be linked.

The former Barcelona chief has been hotly tipped to take the Chelsea job from interim boss Rafa Benitez at the end of the season once his year-long sabbatical is over, while United have now also been mentioned.

Reports in the press have today claimed that Guardiola will knock back all job offers as he wants to take over at Old Trafford once Sir Alex Ferguson decides to call it a day.

It could be a while before he gets that chance and other top jobs including Chelsea and the Brazil national team could be up for grabs before Fergie calls it quits.

However his agent is refusing to say where he will next manage, leaving the rumour-mill to rumble on.

"It doesn't matter what they say, I won't say anything else about Guardiola's future," he told UOL. "I will not talk about interest from clubs or from national teams."
