Manchester United push forward with urgency in their hunt for a new interim manager. The club moves quickly after Darren Fletcher concludes his short-term caretaker role following a disappointing FA Cup exit.
Fletcher stepped in immediately after the board sacked Ruben Amorim last week. The former midfielder took charge of recent Premier League matches against Burnley and Brighton. He also oversaw the FA Cup tie that ended in elimination on Sunday.
Results proved underwhelming under Fletcher. The team failed to secure a victory in his games. The latest defeat highlighted ongoing defensive frailties and lack of cutting edge in attack. Players appeared fragile, as Fletcher himself noted in post-match comments.
Club sources confirm Fletcher’s interim period reached its agreed end. He expressed readiness to continue until season’s end if asked. However, hierarchy now seeks fresh leadership to stabilise the squad during this turbulent period.
Michael Carrick emerges as the leading candidate. The former United midfielder currently manages Middlesbrough with impressive results. Insiders reveal he holds significant backing from key decision-makers. Carrick previously served successfully as caretaker after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal in 2021.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also features prominently in discussions. The club legend held talks with officials. Solskjaer guided United to notable achievements during his tenure, including a second-place Premier League finish. Fans retain strong affection for the Norwegian despite his eventual departure.
