Oxford United have turned down an official approach from Burton Albion to speak to Chris Wilder about their vacant manager's position.
Burton clinched promotion from the Blue Square Premier to the Football League but caretaker boss Roy McFarland, who took over when Nigel Clough moved to Derby County, said he did not want to carry on.
Oxford chairman Kelvin Thomas is desperate to hang on to Wilder, who did an outstanding job in turning United's season around.
