"It's surreal, it's an amazing honour to be able to lead a Manchester United team."
"It is an amazing honour and something I am really proud to do, not in the circumstances I expected. That's something that doesn't sit easy with me. But I've got a job to do."
"I've had a conversation [with the hierarchy] and the focus was on this game and we'll speak after the game."
Darren Fletcher, a former Manchester United midfielder with 342 appearances and five Premier League titles, has been promoted from under-18 head coach to lead the first team against Burnley. He will be assisted by under-21 coach Travis Binnion, under-21 assistant Alan Wright, and recently retired Jonny Evans has rejoined the coaching staff. Fletcher called the appointment an "amazing honour" and described the circumstances as unexpected and uncomfortable. Manchester United is assessing interim options for the remainder of the season and may keep Fletcher until the summer, though his immediate focus is the Burnley match and the FA Cup tie against Brighton.
