Martin O'Neill insists that he did not offer his resignation to the Sunderland board on Saturday night.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has rubbished speculation that he offered his resignation at the weekend.

Reports surfaced on Saturday evening that the 60-year-old had decided to call time on his stint at the Stadium of Light following a 4-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

However, O'Neill has insisted that quitting his job had never crossed his mind.

"Yes, it was a bit of a surprise, really," O'Neill told reporters. "Nothing probably should surprise me in the game, but yes.

"There was nothing in it. Anybody can tweet these days. I think it happened a couple of years ago as well, something like that, a similar sort of thing. But that's the nature of it. But no, I was pretty surprised."

O'Neill took charge of the club in December 2011.
