Michael Murphy isn't wasting any time or energy worrying about protecting and expanding Donegal's legacy under Jim McGuinness.

The 2012 All-Ireland winning captain is more concerned about the here and now ... and Sunday's Ulster SFC final against Monaghan.

"You don't think about these things, it's not worth expending energy on it," he outlined to the Irish Independent.

"Jim is there now, he's Donegal manager. He loves Donegal football, he's an absolute credit and we're extremely fortunate to have him, with his expertise and knowledge and passion for the game.

"We hope to have Jim for ever and ever. I'm just a player and we have a great bond with him, a good friendship with him. He's a very good man. Whatever he decides to do will be outside our remit.

"We don't worry about the legacy. You're so immersed in the day-to-day that you don't have any time to wallow in the legacy, to comprehend it.

"We're just immersing ourselves in playing and winning."
