"Darren Fletcher has confirmed he will remain as Manchester United's interim coach for the FA Cup third-round tie with Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday. However, if there is one reality reinforced by United's 2-2 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor, it is that whatever issues there are at Old Trafford, they will not be solved merely be switching the man in the dugout."
"Since the beginning of November, United have played 10 matches against the teams currently in the bottom eight of the Premier League. They have won two of them. Their past three matches have all been against teams either mired in the relegation zone, in the cases of Wolves and Burnley, or trying desperately to stay out of it, such as Leeds. Their return is three draws."
Darren Fletcher will remain Manchester United's interim coach for the FA Cup third-round tie with Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday. United drew 2-2 with Burnley at Turf Moor, reinforcing that problems at Old Trafford cannot be solved merely by changing the person in charge on the touchline. Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox watched from the directors' box and appeared preoccupied. Since early November United have played 10 matches versus bottom-eight Premier League teams, winning only two, with the last three fixtures producing three draws. Problems persisted despite sacking Ruben Amorim and switching from a 3-4-3 to a back four.
