Darren Fletcher appointed first-team coach at United

Man United hire Darren Fletcher as part of Solskjaer’s backroom staff.

Former United midfielder Darren Fletcher joins Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s backroom staff after making 340 appearances for the senior team from 2003-15.

“I’m delighted to be back and excited to work with the staff: Ole, Kieran [McKenna], Carras [Michael Carrick], Mike Phelan and the rest of the coaches; the players, you know some fantastic players to work with at the beginning of my coaching journey.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity and I’m just delighted to finally be in today, my first day in a new job today. I spoke to Ole a couple of weeks ago and it’s finally getting things sorted to come in today.

“It’s been a unique experience. I’ve been a player but now I’m on the side, on the coaching staff, so it’s a little bit different. I’m buzzing and cannot wait to get started.”
