Jose Mourinho has refused to comment on reports Zinedine Zidane has contacted him about his Manchester United job.
A UK newspaper claimed Zidane called Mourinho to clarify suggestions he has been lined up to take charge at Old Trafford.
"Ask the guy behind, he wrote it. Ask him," Mourinho said at a news conference on Monday.
"Instead of asking me, ask him. He's written it, you need to ask him."
Mourinho refused to comment when asked whether or not he has spoken to United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward about his position too.
"That's a private matter," Mourinho replied.
"I'm not asking you who did you speak to this morning or your last phone call.
"I'm not going to answer. It's a private matter."
Mourinho was also asked if he feared the sack, but fired back: "No. I don't think so."
