Man Utd speaking to several former players about being interim head coach
Manchester United have been in talks with several former players to take on the role of interim head coach, as the club seeks a manager to lead the team until the end of the season following Ruben Amorim's departure.
Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been informally approached about the possibility of managing the team, along with the current caretaker Darren Fletcher. It's expected that other candidates will also be contacted before any decision is taken.
Ruben Amorim was dismissed on Monday after 14 disappointing months, which came to a bitter end following Friday's heated meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox. Under-18s boss and former midfielder Fletcher has been temporarily promoted to interim head coach for Wednesday's Premier League trip to Burnley.
Fletcher is expected to stay in charge for Sunday's FA Cup third-round match against Brighton while United weigh their options. "It's surreal," said Fletcher, who made 342 appearances for the Red Devils and has worked in a variety of different roles for them since 2020.
