Bordeaux coach Blanc blanks Man Utd questions

Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc refuses to discuss his future until the end of the season.

Reports suggest the French Football Federation have earmarked Blanc to replace the unpopular Raymond Domenech when his contract runs out after the 2010 World Cup finals.

There are also suggestions that the 44-year-old is being lined up as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United - where Blanc spent the final two years of his playing career.

"From now on, as soon as you ask me questions about my future of the France team, I will not respond," said Blanc.

"I am in my right because I am at Bordeaux and there is a season to finish, a season to do well and it's a lack of respect to the club to talk about the national team.

"I don't want to fuel all this, that's it, it's 'nyet' until May 15 for me."
