Michael Carrick insists he is not focused on how long he will be in charge of Manchester United.

The Englishman has been named interim manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal on Sunday.

Carrick will take charge for Tuesday's important Champions League clash with Villarreal.

Asked how long he could remain at the helm, the 40-year-old ex-England international said: "First and foremost it has been literally a day, 24 hours. The game is not much further away.

"All I have been thinking about is the game. Not looked past that, big game on the weekend but we will address whenever we need to.

"As long as club want me I will give my best. To be honest that is not something for me to get involved in right now.

"I can't look past tomorrow night. Other people involved in picking what is next, I can't discuss that."
