Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has spoken about Marcus Rashford amid the uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

Speculation surrounding Rashford's future increased this week after he was left out of United's matchday squad for the derby win over rivals Manchester City.

On Tuesday night, journalist Henry Winter posted his interview with Rashford, during which he asked the Englishman whether he is staying or going.

Rashford went on to reply: "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps."

As a result, with the January transfer window on the horizon, Rashford has been linked with a host of different clubs around the globe.

Despite not being directly linked with the North London club, Spurs boss Postecoglou was asked about Rashford ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against United.

The Australian said: "No interest, don’t care, no interest. He’s a Man United player, a very good player, they’ve got plenty of good players.

"But I manage my players and I guess other managers will manage their own players. In terms of Marcus’ situation, I have no real desire to examine it any further."

When pushed on whether Spurs would consider a move for Rashford, Postecoglou added: "Oh, mate, if I looked at everyone who we were linked to I’d have no time to do anything else, to be honest. I’ve got other people to do that part of the process.

"For us, we’ve been pretty disciplined in terms of what we’re trying to build here and will continue to be so. You can ask me about Marcus, but you could ask me about any Premier League footballer, I’m going to say the same thing."
