Jesse Marsch responds to Leeds United rumours following Jamie Carragher question

Jesse Marsch has laughed off reports linking him to the Leeds United job as Marcelo Bielsa's potential replacement.

Recent reports suggest the Whites have identified the former RB Leipzig boss as their top choice should Bielsa decide to leave Elland Road at the end of his contract this summer.

The Leeds United head coach has refused to be drawn on speculation over his own future, insisting he is always 'subject to evaluation' following a difficult second season in the Premier League to date.

Marsch has been out of work since leaving the Bundesliga outfit in December, and was asked by Liverpool legend Carragher on CBS Sports whether the pair would be speaking more regularly in the Premier League next season.

Marsch replied: "You've been reading the newspapers and Twitter too much Jamie!"

When Carragher pressed for an exclusive, the 48-year-old answered: "I'm enjoying being unemployed, let's just say that.

"I'm enjoying a little bit of free time now."

Bielsa has always signed one-year deals at Elland Road during his four-year stint so far, but the team's struggles so far this campaign has raised questions over whether the 66-year-old will look to continue in the role.
