Aaron Danks has firmly shut down rumors linking him to Manchester United, publicly reaffirming his commitment to Bayern Munich. The speculation arose after English media reports suggested the Red Devils were evaluating Danks to bolster Michael Carrick’s coaching staff. However, the 34-year-old dismissed the chatter, emphasizing his focus remains entirely on the Bavarian giant where he has been a key figure in the technical area since joining from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2024.
Assistant manager shuts down speculation after leading side through Kompany’s absence
The loyalty pledge comes at a critical juncture for Danks, who recently stepped into the head coach role for five matches during Vincent Kompany’s illness-related absence. Danks used the opportunity to highlight the resilience of the squad, stating, “The last few weeks have been a reminder that adversity reveals the strength of the people around you.” His interim tenure was marked by a strong display of unity, with Danks praising the “togetherness, character and commitment” displayed by the entire club during a challenging period.
Looking ahead, Danks expressed his eagerness for Kompany’s return, noting that the Belgian manager belongs at the helm of the project. “We keep moving forward, together, and look forward to having Vince back where he belongs,” Danks added. This public statement effectively closes the door on any immediate transfer, signaling that Bayern’s leadership structure remains stable as the team prepares for the upcoming fixtures with their permanent head coach expected to resume duties soon.
