Queiroz happy at United
-
Carlos Queiroz has played down speculation that he will leave Old Trafford to take up the vacant Portugal coaching post.
The Reds’ number two was rumoured to be in line to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari, but he has confirmed he expects to be on United’s trip to South Africa in July.
"I've been in the game too long to plan with any certainty beyond today," Queiroz said in the Daily Express.
"But in all likelihood I will be in South Africa next month with United for the pre-season tour."
Queiroz has been tipped as a possible successor to Sir Alex Ferguson, but the Portuguese believes it is too early to think about who will be the Reds’ next manager.
He added: "I take nothing for granted. Sir Alex will be around for the next two or three seasons and a lot can happen in football in that time."
Queiroz has also expressed his frustration as Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be linked with a summer move Real Madrid.
The winger’s United contract runs until 2012 but Queiroz admits that is no guarantee of him staying with the champions.
"Contracts are becoming meaningless in football, for players and managers," he said.
"It is a now often a case of dog eat dog."
Hmmm interesting to see him take over Saf this guy is good
