Fletcher retained by Ten Hag to senior Man Utd coaching staff

Darren Fletcher will remain part of Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag's coaching staff this season.

Technical director Fletcher will remain on the first-team coaching staff, having been involved in training during United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

Fletcher officially returned to United as a first-team coach in January 2021 and was then named technical director in March but continued to participate in training.

The 38-year-old observed matches from the press box and the directors' box before he moved into the dugout with the rest of the first-team staff for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last match in charge in the defeat at Watford in November.

United explained Fletcher "also has a wider remit as technical director, overseeing the path from Academy to the first team, plus players out on loan".
