Man United could turn to highly-rated caretaker option if Ruben Amorim is sacked - Manchester Evening News
Darren Fletcher is seen as a strong caretaker candidate due to his work ethic and club familiarity amid pressure on Ruben Amorim after just seven points from six games.
- On Saturday, Manchester United could turn to Darren Fletcher, the club's Under-18s coach who has impressed behind the scenes at Carrington, if Ruben Amorim is relieved of his duties.
- Facing poor form, Ruben Amorim, Manchester United head coach, has won just nine of his 33 league games, while Manchester United earned seven points from six matches and conceded 11 goals.
- Amorim acknowledged the pressure Friday, saying `Nobody here is naive` and `We understand that we need results to continue the project`, while Alan Shearer warned `I think if Man United lose to Sunderland he could possibly be sacked`.
- Club sources say the hierarchy considers sacking Amorim would reportedly cost Manchester United one, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to give him more time.
- Several current managers have been linked, including Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva, while David Ornstein clarified Gareth Southgate is not in contention next week.
