Darren Fletcher

Darren Fletcher is currently the interim manager of Manchester United. He took over the role in January 2026 following the sacking of Ruben Amorim, whose 14-month tenure was deemed unsuccessful. Fletcher, previously an academy coach at the club, has described leading Manchester United as beyond his "wildest dreams." His appointment is temporary, as the club is actively searching for a permanent replacement for Amorim. Michael Carrick has also signed a deal with Man United to be interim head coach. Fletcher's immediate task is to stabilize the team and guide them through upcoming matches, including a game against Burnley. His performance in this interim role will likely be closely scrutinized as Manchester United navigates a period of transition and seeks to appoint their eleventh manager (including interim roles) since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
