Man United press conference live: Interim manager Darren Fletcher faces the media
Jan 06 2026 18:16 · Por Lawrence Ostlere · 40 Leituras
Darren Fletcher is giving his first press conference as Manchester United ’s interim manager after the sacking of Ruben Amorim .
Amorim departed on Monday after a poor run of results and a dramatic fallout with the club’s director of football Jason Wilcox. He leaves the club sixth in the Premier League and battling for a place in next season’s Champions League. Fletcher has stepped up from managing the under-18s and will take charge of the senior side for the Premier League clash with Burnley on Wednesday evening.
United plan on installing an interim manager until the end of the season , with Fletcher among candidates which also include former United players Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick. The club then aim to lock in a permanent manager in the summer. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner , the recently sacked Enzo Maresca, and ex-Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez are also potentially in the running.
Follow all the latest from Fletcher’s first press conference as Manchester United’s interim manager below.
