Could Gerhard Struber have ditched Metro for one of the biggest clubs in the world? According to reports out of England, Manchester United had made contact with the Metro manager for an assistant role under interim boss Ralf Rangnick. If that name sounds familiar, Rangnick previously stole Jesse Marsch to be his assistant at Leipzig. The English giants would have to buy Struber out of his MLS contract.

Struber confirmed the interest to Sky Sports, but he is not going anywhere. "There was a request. It's no secret that Ralf Rangnick and us know well and appreciate us very much. I am very honored by the request from England. At the same time, the situation in New York for me is such that it allows me to look to the future with great hope and I don't want to give up on the path with New York overnight. I am very committed to the team in New York and we have big plans. I have a long-term contract in New York that I want to keep and I have big goals with an ambitious team. I settled in very well in New York and went through difficult times with my team and we really grew together. It would be the wrong time to say goodbye here. I feel very comfortable in my current role as head coach and believe that I can achieve the greatest impact in this role and that's why I want to continue on this path."

Interestingly, previously Man United was linked with Bradley Carnell for the same role. Carnell also interviewed for the head job at future MLS expansion club in St. Louis. Even more interestingly, the job now looks to go to... Chris Armas!?
