""They've informed me they'd like to take the team for Sunday," Fletcher told a news conference at Turf Moor. "There was a feeling that might have been the case from the from Monday, but we wanted to focus on Burnley. "But yeah, I'm tasked with leading the team on Sunday, so all my focus and energy goes to that now.""
""We created a lot of chances, had 30 shots, 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. Still lots to work on but I was really pleased with their efforts.""
Darren Fletcher will be on the touchline for Manchester United's FA Cup tie against Brighton on Sunday. He was in charge for the 2-2 draw with Burnley on Wednesday following Ruben Amorim's dismissal as head coach. The club has spoken to candidates including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick about becoming interim boss until the summer, with no final decision yet. Fletcher will keep the job for at least one more game. Manchester United recovered from a goal down to lead 2-1 thanks to two strikes from Benjamin Sesko before Burnley equalised. The team created numerous chances, registering 30 shots, forcing goal-line clearances and having a goal disallowed. Fletcher praised the players' efforts while acknowledging an imperfect performance, a slow start and plenty still to work on.
