Manchester United face a quick turnaround as they travel to Burnley on Wednesday evening under the guidance of interim manager Darren Fletcher.
The move comes after Ruben Amorim was sacked following a 1-1 draw with Leeds United and a public fallout with the club’s board.
Fletcher, a former United midfielder and current coach, has been tasked with steadying the ship while the search for a permanent successor begins.
Burnley, currently 19th in the table, will see this as a prime opportunity to exploit the uncertainty at Old Trafford. For United, a win is essential to maintain their sixth-place standing and prevent their season from spiraling further.
The club is reportedly considering Xavi and Oliver Glasner as potential long-term candidates, but for now the focus remains on securing three points under Fletcher’s temporary leadership.
