Manchester United reserve team assistant boss Warren Joyce insists he is happy in his current role and isn't interested in returning to Hull.[LNB] Joyce is rumoured to be among the contenders to succeed Ian Dowie at the KC Stadium following the Tigers' relegation from the Premier League last season after a successful stint in his role at Old Trafford for the past two seasons.[LNB]With chairman Adam Pearson looking to bring in a cheaper option with the club in serious debt and under the threat of administration, the 45-year-old appears to fit the bill.[LNB]Joyce is already a hero at the club, after keeping the team in the Football League back in 1999, turning their form around to make them safe after being rooted to the bottom of the fourth tier when he took over.[LNB]However despite his close ties with the Tigers, Joyce insisted he was happy with his role at United, and wanted the Humberside club's future sooner rather than later. [LNB]"The quicker Hull appoint a manager, the better. I don't want speculation linking me to the job," said Joyce.[LNB]"Hull City mean a lot to me but I am grateful to Manchester United for the chance they've given me.[LNB]"One of my faults as a manager was I couldn't argue with directors but I don't have that problem now."
