Man United Poised to Name Caretaker Within 48 Hours as Fletcher Leads FA Cup Tie

INEOS leaders are weighing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against Michael Carrick, with Solskjaer’s backroom requirements under review.

Overview

  • Darren Fletcher remains in temporary charge after Ruben Amorim’s exit and will oversee Sunday’s FA Cup third-round match against Brighton.
  • Fletcher said he believes he can manage the team but emphasized his focus is confined to the two fixtures he was asked to lead.
  • Yahoo Sports reports Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are the leading contenders following talks with INEOS decision-makers.
  • A face-to-face meeting with Solskjaer took place at Carrington, and reports say the composition of his potential staff is a key complication.
  • Teamtalk, via Yahoo, indicates Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox could confirm the caretaker decision within roughly 48 hours, with the candidates viewed separately rather than as a joint setup.
