Ruben Amorim was sacked by Manchester United on Monday morning after 14 months as their head coach. He departs after a power struggle with the hierarchy over transfer policy, with Amorim demanding his colleagues in the recruitment department “do their job” following Sunday’s draw at Leeds.
His immediate replacement is Darren Fletcher, who takes charge as interim head coach. The Scot, a former United midfielder and the current under-18s coach, will lead the side at Burnley on Wednesday and could remain in charge for Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Brighton.
