Darren Fletcher 'has been Manchester United's peacemaker this season amid tensions between Ralf Rangnick and the squad'... with the 'popular' technical director helping to lift spirits during turbulent campaign

Manchester United's turbulent season has been eased by the presence of 'popular' technical director Darren Fletcher, reports claim.

United have endured a difficult campaign that has already seen the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Red Devils quickly falling out of the race for the title and their major signings - Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane - struggling to shine at times.

There has already been reports of a divide between Ronaldo and interim boss Ralf Rangnick, with the Portugese forward linked with an exit this summer after a handful of off-colour displays that saw him storm down the tunnel at full time.
