Darren Fletcher is expected to take charge of Manchester United on an interim basis following the sacking of Ruben Amorim, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein. Man United have parted ways with the Portuguese after 14 months in charge, with his bombshell interview after the 1-1 draw against Leeds United yesterday proving to be the final straw.

His back-three system has drawn concerns for many months, and a return of three wins in their last 11 Premier League games was not convincing enough.
