Warren Joyce isn't ready to jump ship at Manchester United just yet.

Sky Sports says Blackburn Rovers approached United for permission to speak to Joyce last week.

Joyce is keen to make the step up to manage at a higher level, although he wishes to know where he fits in to Jose Mourinho's plans before making a final decision.

It is thought United will not stand in Joyce's way if he wishes to leave, but will defer the final decision to Mourinho.
