Man United legend in talks to become new U18s manager after working closely with Ruben Amorim last season

Darren Fletcher has held talks about becoming Manchester United’s Under-18 manager.

The vacancy has been open since Adam Lawrence decided to leave following the end of the 2024-25 season.

Mail Sport understands that while nothing has yet been agreed with Fletcher, he is well liked by sporting director Jason Wilcox and departing academy director Nick Cox and has held talks.

Fletcher, who holds his UEFA A licence, spent last season working closely with Ruben Amorim and the first team and he operated as a conduit to help get academy players into training groups and matchday squads.
