"Darren Fletcher took charge at Burnley on Wednesday, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - sacked from the post in 2021 - and Michael Carrick are also in the frame. Fletcher and Carrick won 10 Premier League titles between them. Solskjaer won six, and also scored one of the most famous goals in United's history to win the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich in Barcelona."
