Darren Fletcher takes charge of second game as interim manager

Manchester United take on Brighton and Hove Albion this afternoon in the second game of Darren Fletcher’s interim spell at the helm. United remain managerless after the sacking of Ruben Amorim on Monday, and former midfielder Fletcher took charge of the side against Burnley on Wednesday, leading them to a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor. He takes his seat in the dugout at Old Trafford for the first time today, as the Red Devils prepare to embark on their only remaining hope of silverware this term.

They face a Brighton team that has been a real thorn in their side in recent years, emerging victorious at Old Trafford three times in the last three and a half years. Fabian Hurzeler’s men arrive back in the north-west with plenty of confidence, having held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium in midweek. Kaoru Mitoma was on target to snatch a point for the Sussex outfit there.

Now, United, who are in talks with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick over a caretaker position to see the club through until the end of the season, turn their attentions back to cup football, looking to return to winning ways after three straight draws.
