Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he will not join Manchester United as its new manager despite reports linking him to the vacant manager's job following David Moyes' dismissal.

Klopp is contracted until 2018 with Dortmund, which is second in the Bundesliga, made the quarter-finals of the Champions League and will face Bayern Munich in the German Cup final on May 17 in Berlin

According to Sport24, Klopp said that although it felt uncomfortable for him to reject an offer when none had been offered to him yet, he however, said that he is content with his job at Dortmund, where he has '1000 reasons to be super happy', even though United is a 'really great club'.

United is not the only club Klopp has been linked to, with the German dismissing reports linking him to Barcelona with their manager Gerardo Martino under pressure after his side failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals and lost in the Spanish Copa del Rey final to bitter rivals Real Madrid, the report added.
