Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United.
The Portuguese’s final game of his 14-month spell in charge was the 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Sunday that leaves them sixth in the Premier League after 20 matches.
Former midfielder and current Under-18s coach Darren Fletcher will take charge on a interim basis with his first game being away at Burnley on Wednesday night. A permanent appointment is likely to wait until the summer.
The decision has been arrived at by the club’s leadership team, including chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, after a breakdown in relations behind the scenes.
