Fletcher Asked for Ferguson's Advice Before Taking Man Utd Interim Role
Fletcher, 41, steps in after Amorim's sacking and emphasizes fast attacks and a back four; U18s under his coaching are 2nd in the U18 Premier League North.
- On Monday, Manchester United placed Darren Fletcher in interim charge after sacking Ruben Amorim, and he will lead the team in Wednesday's Premier League trip to Burnley and could also manage Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie with Brighton.
- Fletcher's long United association and academy record explain his selection, having signed for United at 15 and made 312 appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson.
- Tactically, Fletcher favours a back four and may use a 4-3-3 formation, emphasising fast attacks and devastating counter-attacks from his Under-18s experience.
- The club has not decided who will take charge beyond this week, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick under consideration while Fletcher has been told he will manage one game after speaking with Jason Wilcox.
- He has supplemented his staff with academy coaches Travis Binnion, Alan Wright and former centre-back Jonny Evans, and United will be boosted by Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount returning for Burnley.
