Jurgen Klopp today ruled himself out of replacing David Moyes at Manchester United.

The Borussia Dortmund manager had been earmarked as a leading candidate to succeed the sacked Scot.

Klopp has been touted as a candidate for the top jobs in European football, most recently as the next Barcelona head coach, but he wasted little time in ruling himself out of the United job.

The 46-year-old told The Guardian: "Man United is a great club and I feel very familiar with their wonderful fans. But my commitment to Borussia Dortmund and the people is not breakable."

Klopp, who agreed a new contract at the Bundesliga club until 2018 back in October, said last week that he was "still in love" with Dortmund.
