Ralf Rangnick made clear the extent of his future consultancy role at Manchester United would depend on the club's new manager.
The interim boss would not be drawn on reports that Ajax boss Erik ten Hag had been lined up as the next permanent appointment at Old Trafford, saying his focus was purely on Saturday's trip to relegation-battling Everton.
Rangnick was also asked about his own future at the end of a week in which the Austrian Football Association denied having spoken to the 63-year-old about their vacant manager's position, and said he would discuss his two-year consultancy contract at the end of the season.
