The Red Devils head coach, who has been linked with replacing Ronald Koeman, is excited by his side's prospects in the Nations League

Roberto Martinez insists that he remains focused on Belgium despite speculation linking him with the Barcelona job.

The former Everton and Wigan Athletic boss is one of the names that has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Ronald Koeman, who has seen his position questioned following a disappointing start to the 2021-22 campaign.

And while Martinez is a proud Catalan who was born in the region, he is solely concentrating on his role with Belgium, with the Red Devils facing France in the Nations League semi-final on October 7.

What has Martinez said about the Barcelona speculation?


"In all honesty, I don’t spend much time thinking about my future," Martinez exclusively told Goal. "My career shows that I don’t make plans to get to where I am now. I just go from project to project. You learn that you have to be committed today.

"In football, if you start thinking you just drop your performance and underachieve in what you do. In my case, I am very, very happy in what I am doing and I am just trying to achieve the next steps.

"In the end, if I have to arrive at a decision where there’s a door I will just try to make the best decision for everyone."
