Amorim is under immense pressure at Old Trafford having amassed a dismal 34 points in 33 league games as he continues to persist with his failing 3-4-3 system.
According to a report from The Sun, United are preparing for the eventualiy that Amorim will be sacked and are considering giving interim charge to ex-midfielder Fletcher, 41.
Fletcher was appointed the club’s Under-18s manager back in June and is understood to have impressed United’s higher ups.
