When asked about Pellegrini being linked with his job, the 48-year-old replied to reporters: "F****** hell! I can't continue to answer questions about this every week.
"We have another two months [of the season]. You know things can happen in that time.
"But this is normal for you [reporters]. This is your job, don't worry. But I can't continue to answer every week about one name or another.
"Also because I don't understand the reason for this. Why would Manchester City change their manager? For which reason?
"In the last 18-20 months, after United won the Premier League in 2011 and we won the FA Cup, there were seven trophies available to win.
"Manchester City won three of those seven. So I don't understand [why City would change their manager]. For what reason?
"I am not the CEO or chairman, so if you want to ask these questions, you should speak with them. I don't have a problem. I have another four years on my contract and we are doing well."
