Fletcher Brings in Evans as He Looks to Lift United
Darren Fletcher, supported by Travis Binnion and Jonny Evans, takes temporary charge after Ruben Amorim's sacking while Manchester United evaluates caretaker and long-term coaching options.
- Darren Fletcher, newly installed as interim head coach, will manage Wednesday's Premier League trip to Burnley, marking his first senior game after being parachuted from the Under-18s.
- After a heated meeting on Friday between Ruben Amorim and director of football Jason Wilcox, Amorim's explosive call for everyone to `do their job` preceded his sacking on Monday.
- Supporting Fletcher, Under-21s coach Travis Binnion, Alan Wright and Jonny Evans recently joined the senior staff, while Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes return with managed minutes to boost options.
- For now, Fletcher will manage the immediate fixtures while wider staffing decisions continue; he is expected to remain in charge for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Brighton as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are considered.
- With precious little preparation time, Fletcher's tactical choices will attract scrutiny as Manchester United had limited time to work ahead of the Burnley away ground trip.
