"Manchester United are hoping to have clarity on who will lead the team for the rest of the season early next week, sources have told ESPN. The club have been working on appointing an interim for the final five months of the campaign since dismissing Ruben Amorim as head coach on Monday. Darren Fletcher, who was in charge for the 2-2 draw with Burnley on Wednesday, will be on the touchline again for the FA Cup tie against Brighton on Sunday."
"United have had conversations with a number of candidates including former players Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Solskjaer is set to have a face-to-face meeting with CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox on Saturday. A meeting with Carrick has already taken place."
"Fletcher, according to United sources, has impressed the leadership team after stepping into the role following Amorim's sacking. The former Scotland midfielder won plaudits internally for his attacking approach against Burnley when his team had 30 shots and 10 on target."
