Manchester United interim manager Darren Fletcher is prepared to lead the club for the rest of the season. Fletcher’s debut match as United’s manager ended in a 2-2 draw against Burnley. The former midfielder was given charge after the Red Devils played a 1-1 draw against Leeds United and subsequently, Ruben Amorim was sacked.

Fletcher has been asked to take charge of the FA third round clash against Brighton. The club has spoken to candidates, including former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick, to take up the interim role until the summer. However, the final call is yet to be taken by the management.

“I’ve always been quite relaxed about my future,” said Fletcher.

“I’ve enjoyed it, I really have. I’ve tried to relish it.

“I think I’m quite well prepared. I’ve always tried to prepare myself to be a manager in the future. It was something I always thought that I would maybe be quite good at or something that I’d enjoy doing.

“It’s not something I’m saying I’m desperate to do.

“I want to prepare myself to be a manager and that opportunity might come for me one day and I know I’ll be ready to do it.

“But if it doesn’t, I’ll be more than comfortable with that. If it means I remain as the under-18s coach, I’m really happy.”

Fletcher said he was surprised when the management asked him to lead the club after Amorim’s sacking.

“I was surprised I got offered for the two games because I wasn’t expecting it,” said Fletcher.

“I don’t think like that. It wasn’t something that was on my radar at all, but when I do get asked to do it, I know that I can do it.

“I know that I’m comfortable doing it. I know the environment, I believe in myself. I feel like I’ve learned a lot in the five years that I’ve been here.”
