The Australian Football Association has denied a meeting took place between its sporting director and Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
Reports on the continent earlier this week claimed Rangnick had been approached by Peter Schottel with a view to becoming Austria manager. Vienna-based outlet Kurier reported Schottel flew into Manchester on a private jet on Monday amid growing speculation the United interim is losing his responsibility at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are in the process of appointing their next permanent manager and Erik ten Hag is expected to be unveiled at the end of the season. While Rangnick is due to move behind the scenes to begin a two-year consultancy role, the reports from Austria cast doubt over his future with the club.
