Darren Fletcher takes temporary charge of Manchester United for tonight's trip to Burnley, stepping up from Under-18s coach until an interim manager is named and a permanent successor is appointed at season's end. Ruben Amorim was dismissed after a disagreement with director of football Jason Wilcox; his final match was a 1-1 draw at Leeds leaving United sixth in the Premier League. Burnley sit in deep relegation trouble with 12 points from 20 games and are nine points from safety after Nottingham Forest's win. Burnley have a long injury list and AFCON absences. United also miss several players through AFCON and injury.
