Darren Fletcher makes Michael Carrick admission after Man United head coach attends FA Youth Cup win

Roy Keane delivered another passionate rant about Man United ahead of the Manchester derby on Saturday‚ insisting his former club's decision-making of late has been 'a bit of a circus act'. United‚ who sacked Ruben Amorim after the team's disappointing draw at Elland Road earlier this month‚ handed the reins to caretaker boss Darren Fletcher before hiring Michael Carrick as an interim head coach until the end of the season. Carrick‚ who takes charge of United for the first time against rivals Manchester City on Saturday‚ arrived at Old Trafford with a coaching team made up of former England No 2 Steve Holland‚ his old Middlesbrough colleague Jonathan Woodgate and ex-Red Devils star Jonny Evans.

With Ruben Amorim now in Manchester United's rear view‚ there are a number of players in the squad who might not be begrudged the right to pop the champagne. Kobbie Mainoo is the first player who springs to mind‚ the talented young midfielder increasingly out in the cold under the Portuguese manager and now potentially looking to enjoy a return to the starting XI under caretaker manager Darren Fletcher.

Darren Fletcher's side were knocked out of England's top cup competition at the first time of asking on Sunday night‚ with former Red Devil Danny Welbeck scoring one and setting up another in Brighton's 2-1 win. It means United were this season knocked out of both domestic cups at the first hurdle‚ having lost on penalties to League Two Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup at the start of the campaign.

NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Manchester United have bowed out of every cup competition at the first time of asking as they tripped at the first hurdle in the FA Cup‚ losing 2-1 at home to Brighton. Goals from Brajan Gruda and Danny Welbeck did the damage and while Benjamin Sesko handed United a lifeline with a late header‚ it wasn't enough. It means Darren Fletcher has failed to win either of his two matches in charge as interim boss‚ with a caretaker manager until the end of the season expected to be appointed early this week.

Darren Fletcher has the chance to make his sons' dreams come true. The Manchester United caretaker manager is in the unique position of being able to field both of his sons‚ Jack and Tyler‚ for the club's first team if he wants to. It is an unprecedented situation in football. As United host Brighton on Sunday in the FA Cup‚ there is the very real prospect that he rotates the squad and calls on both of his sons.

For Manchester United fans‚ a lot has happened since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last led the team. They have seen six managers take charge since his departure‚ including caretakers Michael Carrick‚ Ruud van Nistelrooy‚ and now Darren Fletcher‚ and the period has been a whirlwind of highs and lows. For the Norwegian‚ on the other hand‚ life since November 2021 has been far more peaceful.

CHRIS WHEELER: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hold face-to-face talks with Manchester United on Saturday as he bids to become interim head coach until the end of the season. Solskjaer is battling with Michael Carrick for the role after United sacked Ruben Amorim this week‚ although caretaker boss Darren Fletcher cannot be ruled out. It's understood that both Solskjaer and Carrick held preliminary discussions with the United hierarchy earlier in the week.

Roy Keane has blamed Manchester United's decay on Sir Alex Ferguson 'hanging on like a bad smell'. The Old Trafford legend‚ who famously fell out with Sir Alex in 2005‚ believes United's powerbrokers are holding the club back with weak decision-making. Caretaker manager Darren Fletcher admitted he asked for Ferguson's blessing before taking on the role - despite the Scot retiring in 2013.

Benjamin Sesko scores twice but Darren Fletcher's Manchester United held by Burnley

Roy Keane has revealed that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe would be his top choice to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. The Red Devils sacked Amorim on Monday after he criticised the club's hierarchy in an explosive outburst following United's 1-1 draw with Leeds last weekend. Darren Fletcher‚ who took charge for Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Burnley‚ is temporarily acting as caretaker manager while Manchester United hunt for an interim head coach until the end of the season.

Manchester United were held to a draw by relegation-threatened as they took their first steps in the post Ruben Amorim era. Darren Fletcher went with a back four and United controlled proceedings for most of this contest‚ only for individual errors to let them down in a 2-2 draw. Benjamin Sesko scored twice and Patrick Dorgu showed once again why he's better going forward‚ rather than being tasked with defending‚ as United showed flashes of how good they can be in front of goal. But it was never going to be an overnight fix for Fletcher as attention turns to the FA Cup at Old Trafford next for the former United midfielder. Daily Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT runs the rule over United's players in this four-goal thriller.

IAN LADYMAN AT TURF MOOR: In the away end they sang Darren Fletcher's name. They sang those of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick too‚ though‚ so in terms of a popularity contest among those keen on leading Manchester United until the end of the season‚ it was hard to call a winner. What would have helped Fletcher - manager for the night here in Lancashire - was a victory. Nothing strengthens a CV quite like Premier League points and for a while Fletcher will have thought he had three. Poor early on and behind to an Ayden Heaven own goal‚ Fletcher's United had recovered impressively to lead after an hour thanks to two terrifically taken goals from the hitherto hopeless United centre forward Benjamin Sesko.
