Jose Mourinho's rubbished rumours he might resign at the end of the season.

Newspapers reported, on Thursday evening, that there were fears inside Old Trafford that the manager could resign after two seasons.

However, the boss has today rubbished those rumours and suggested that he's keen on extending his deal beyond three years.

"It depends on what you want to know and what you want to speak about,

"If you want to speak about some news, I say, 'Garbage'. I don't find a better word to define the talk.

"If you want to ask me directly, which I suppose you want (to), if I see myself next season in Manchester United, I say I see myself (here). And, as I told when I arrived, I'm going to leave when the club wants me to leave, because I have no intention to leave at all.''

He's come under fire after United fell further behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.

The reds face Derby at Old Trafford in the FA Cup on Friday.

Mourinho also used today's press conference to reveal Sergio Romero will start in goal instead of David De Gea and that Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini are both fit again.
