Darren Fletcher, who used to play for Manchester United, became the club’s technical director in 2021. However, fans were puzzled to see him on the bench alongside Rangnick and Chris Armas after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired. According to latest reports, he has been sacked from his position.
Darren Fletcher has been sacked by Manchester United
Fletcher had a great time playing for Manchester United before he started working in another role with the club in 2020. At first, he coached the Under-16 team. Then, he coached the main team for a short two months before getting his current job. He did help out during Ralf Rangnick’s time as coach, but he hasn’t been as involved since Ten Hag became the coach.
But according to the latest news, Manchester United is planning to fire Darren Fletcher from his role as Technical Director next week. Jason Wilcox is expected to take over his position, as per Manchester United’s plans.

The new Manchester United team behind the scenes is starting to come together with the help of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos. They haven’t had a clear plan lately, which has affected their performance on the field. Bringing in a strategy will be really important for their success. Omar Berrada will become the chief executive in the summer, and talks are happening to bring Dan Ashworth in as the sporting director and Jason Wilcox as the technical director. Ratcliffe was very clear about what he wanted in a chief executive and chose Berrada as the top pick. Berrada has a great track record, working for 12 years at City Football Group after spending time at Barcelona. Many professional sports groups have seen Berrada as a potential leader for a long time, even NFL teams were interested.
Getting someone important from their main rivals is a big win and adds excitement. Berrada is a great mind in football and everyone who has worked with him, especially in City’s recent transfers, respects and likes him a lot.
