He responded: "I'm not prepared for that question, haven't thought about Man United for a second. Sorry."
Solskjaer took the opportunity to send a message to the United fans following his dismissal on Sunday, with a final interview being posted to the club's official website.
In it, Solskjaer said: "Some have come, some have gone, but all of them, they've been such an enjoyable bunch to work with.
"First of all, I want to thank the board and the owners for giving me the opportunity because it’s not for everyone and I've had the opportunity.
"I am so honoured and privileged to have been trusted to take the club forward and I really hope I leave it in a better state when I came. I made great friends, I have reconnected with some great friends and new staff coming in.
"The other stuff that was already here we've been good friends and we've connected. That's what it's about at a club like this with the fans. The fans have been amazing from day one at Cardiff until now so, top, and we'll see each other again."
