Darren Fletcher does not appear to be on the same page as Manchester United chiefs. Darren Fletcher once claimed that Manchester United "shouldn't really be appointing an interim manager", a comment that now seems ironic as the club prepares to do just that in the wake of Ruben Amorim's dismissal. Speaking to the BBC, he said: "United shouldn't really be appointing an interim manager. There is a real concern that you could have two seasons of rebuilding again, which is a real worry, and Manchester United should never be in this position. Fletcher sits amongst the bookmakers' favourites to become the next permanent manager at Old Trafford, with the decision resting in the hands of figures like Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
