Darren Fletcher Installed as Man United Interim With Chance to Select Twin Sons

The interim coach declined to reveal whether Jack and Tyler will feature on Wednesday.

Overview

  • Manchester United placed their under-18 coach Darren Fletcher in temporary charge after sacking Ruben Amorim.
  • Fletcher said he would not disclose team selection, noting his sons trained with the group and that late fitness assessments will guide the match squad.
  • Jack Fletcher, 18, has three senior substitute appearances since debuting on Dec. 21, while twin brother Tyler awaits his first-team debut.
  • If both brothers play at Burnley, it would mark the first time in the Premier League that siblings appear under their father's management.
  • United visit relegation-battling Burnley on Wednesday with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount back from injury on managed minutes as injuries and AFCON absences strain squad depth.
