Manchester United Treble winner Nicky Butt has made it clear who he doesn't want to see succeed Ruben Amorim as manager.

The Portuguese was axed by United on Monday after 18 months in charge.

Among the names being mentioned as a successor is Enzo Maresca, who quit Chelsea on Thursday.

With United chiefs Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox having been at Manchester City when Maresca was working as a coach there, the connection is driving major speculation.

However, Butt said on the The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast: "If Maresca comes in - I like him as a coach, I really do - with the background, I would give my season tickets back.

"I can't sit here and go on about Man united philosophy and DNA and then go, 'Well I'd love Maresca', an ex-Man City guy. Then you have Omar Berrarda and Jason Wilcox.

"I don't care how much success is. You're forgetting where I'm from. Everyone is a City fan. I'm a Man United fan and I can't accept that."
