Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has distanced himself from the vacant Old Trafford manager's job after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking.
United have started the search for an interim manager to guide them through until the end of the season when Solskjaer's permanent replacement is likely to be appointed.
Michael Carrick, who was part of Solskjaer's coaching staff, will take over as a caretaker for forthcoming games.
But Rooney, who manages Championship side Derby County, has ruled out any possibility of a return to United in any coaching capacity.
