"It does not surprise me that Darren Fletcher has been passed the reins at Manchester United as interim manager for Wednesday's game at Burnley. Darren is an outstanding person, and he would be the perfect choice to take the job on a longer-term basis following Ruben Amorim's departure. Fletch, as everyone in football calls him, is someone I know very well."
"One of the things Sir Alex told me was that for United's big games in the Champions League, away from home, he would always pick him because he was an out-and-out winner who gave everything in every game. Sir Alex said he knew that, if it was going to be really tough and he needed someone in midfield who would be absolutely relentless, then he always played Fletch."
Darren Fletcher has longstanding ties with Manchester United, joining as a young player and gaining experience under Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex recommended him as an out-and-out winner, regularly selected for tough away Champions League games because of his relentless midfield performances. Fletcher's contributions on and off the pitch have been described as incredible. He moved to West Brom in February 2015 after an exceptional reference. He is praised as dependable in games and off the pitch, a strong dressing-room influence and a gentleman, regarded among the best signings in a three-decade managerial career.
