Manchester United have confirmed that Darren Fletcher will take over as interim manager after the club decided to part ways with Rúben Amorim.

The move comes as United looks to steady the ship amid a turbulent period in the season. Fletcher, a former United midfielder and current member of the club’s coaching setup, will temporarily oversee first-team duties while the club searches for a permanent manager.

Club sources described the decision as a “necessary step” to ensure stability and continuity within the squad. Fletcher brings with him an intimate understanding of Manchester United’s culture and philosophy, having spent over a decade as a player at Old Trafford before moving into coaching roles.

The club has yet to announce how long Fletcher will remain in charge or whether a permanent appointment has already been identified. Fans can expect updates from the club in the coming days as preparations continue for upcoming fixtures.
