The 44-year-old was the youth team coach at Salzburg and is now regarded as one of the most talented young coaches in football.

But the Austrian has rejected the offer to reunite with the German manager in Manchester, preferring to continue his work in the MLS, according to The Sun.

Struber did not want to take the demotion he would have to at Old Trafford, stepping down from from head coach to assistant. 

Struber told Austrian Sky Sports: 'There has been a request.

'It's no secret that Ralf Rangnick and us know and appreciate us well and appreciate very much.
