O'Leary rules out Man Utd

David O'Leary does not want to uproot his family

Leeds United manager David O'Leary has ruled himself out as a possible successor to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United at the end of the season.

"No, I wouldn't leave to go to Manchester," Leary told the Leeds' official club website.

"I am settled in Leeds and I am not planning to move anywhere.

"My children are happy where they are."

The 43-year-old manager has yet to win a trophy as a manager.

But he did guide Leeds to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

On Monday the Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld also ruled himself out of the running to succeed Ferguson.
