Speaking after the match, Redfearn while expressing a desire for the job, said he would in the meantime be continuing to do his best at the club before any official annoucement is made.
"I feel I am capable of doing the manager’s job and have the necessary experience in the game," the former Barnsley midfielder said.
"But the decision will be made from above and I am not stupid. I realise some big names are being linked with the vacancy.
"I will just keep doing the job the board have asked of me and if I am teeing things up for someone else to take charge then so be it.
"For now I am just delighted to have helped the players get a great result and rebuild some confidence."
Early favourite Neil Warnock is rated as 2.00 to be United's next manager, with Dave Jones 26.00 and Lee Clark 4.50.
