Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick says that his full attention is currently on Saturday's clash with Watford.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that his full attention is currently on Saturday's Premier League clash with Watford at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have an important March, taking on Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the Premier League, in addition to welcoming Atletico Madrid for the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie.

However, when questioned on next month ahead of Saturday's match with Watford, Rangnick said that his full attention is on the fixture with Roy Hodgson's side.

"Well, it could (March be decisive), but, as you said, for us, it only makes sense to take one game after the other," the German told reporters on Friday.

"Now the job is to fully recover from the game the day before yesterday and play at the highest possible level tomorrow at home and hopefully win the game against Watford. And then we have a normal week to prepare for the derby against Manchester City."

Man United, who drew 1-1 with Atletico in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash on Wednesday, are currently fourth in the table, one point ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal.
