"It has been a dramatic week even by United's standards: the rapid breakdown in relations between Ruben Amorim and club bosses, a fiery Friday meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox, two incendiary news conferences, and another sacking. It's a club that can sometimes feel more like a soap opera with only a sprinkling of actual football. The latest episode had a new leading man -- caretaker boss Darren Fletcher -- and more twists and turns."
""[We] put in a performance that should win the match," said Fletcher. "We created a lot of chances, goal-line clearances, a disallowed goal. "If you look at it in those terms, we should win the match. It wasn't perfect. We started slow. We scored two fantastic goals. There's still lots to work on, but I was really pleased with their efforts.""
Manchester United experienced intense internal turmoil, including a rapid breakdown between Ruben Amorim and club bosses, a fiery meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox, two incendiary news conferences, and another sacking. Caretaker Darren Fletcher led the team to Turf Moor, where United fell behind, then took the lead through two well-taken Benjamin Sesko goals before conceding and settling for a 2-2 draw. Fletcher praised the performance, citing chances created, goal-line clearances and a disallowed goal, and said the team should have won. Fletcher returned to coaching youth teams after retiring, joined first-team staff in January 2021 and was promoted to technical director despite reservations.
