Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has been linked with the vacant Aston Villa job following Roberto Di Matteo's sacking earlier today.

The Italian lasted just 124 days at the Midlands club and won just one of Villa's opening 11 matches of the Championship season, leaving Villa's promotion ambitions now hanging by a thread.

Wagner on the other hand has masterminded eight wins over the same period, steering Town to the top of the Championship table.

And those tweets were met with laughter by Huddersfield Town fans who are convinced they will keep hold of their man.

Here's what the Town fans made of the rumours.

And this tweet - from a Villa fan - says it all about the situation.
