Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher will take charge for Wednesday’s Premier League game against Burnley.
The 41-year-old Scot will remain in place until a caretaker is appointed for the rest of the campaign, with the club planning to name Ruben Amorim’s permanent successor in the summer.
Fletcher made more than 340 appearances over a 20-year stint at United.
He was scouted to join the Red Devils at the age of 11 and went on to win five Premier League titles, two League Cups, an FA Cup and the Champions League.
Fletcher moved on to West Brom in 2015 before retiring at Stoke City at the age of 34.
The Carrington graduate returned to the club as an under-16s coach in 2020. He later joined the first-team coaching staff and was the club’s technical director for three years.
Since July, he has been in charge of the under-18s.
