Queens Park Rangers are in talks with Burton Albion manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink over their vacant managerial post.

The former Chelsea and Leeds United striker has been brilliant since taking charge of Burton in November last year, winning League Two last season and leading the Brewers to the top of League One in this campaign.

After 20 matches the club have picked up 41 points, leaving them two points clear of Coventry City at the top of the table; Hasselbaink has won 33 of his 54 matches in total.

Neil Warnock has been in charge of QPR since the club sacked Chris Ramsey on 4 November, picking up one win, one draw and one defeat in his three matches.

QPR have now made an official approach for the 43-year-old.

"They can speculate, but I can't stop people doing that or control that," Hasselbaink said when asked about the speculation by BBC Radio Derby.

"The only thing I can do is make my players work as hard as possible and work with them.

"I make sure I give them everything I have got and they give everything they have got for this club. That is what we will keep on doing."

QPR are currently 12th in the Championship with 23 points from 18 matches.
