Andoni Iraola has emerged as a leading target for Athletic Bilbao who want the 43-year-old as their new head coach. He has also been discussed by Crystal Palace and Tottenham as they consider appointing new managers this summer. Current Athletic head coach Ernesto Valverde will step down at the end of this season and Iraola is the favoured choice to replace him. Asked about the links after last night's 2-2 draw with Manchester United, he said: 'No, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Probably as a supporter because it is my club but no it doesn't affect the situation.
