Ralf Rangnick admits he DOESN'T KNOW what technical director Darren Fletcher's role is at Manchester United... but interim boss says it is 'good to have him on board' for his influence around the training ground

Ralf Rangnick has admitted he is not sure what Darren Fletcher's role at Old Trafford is, but praised the former Manchester United midfielder for having a positive impact on the team.

The Scotsman is United's technical director but has been regularly spotted in the dugout alongside Rangnick and his coaching staff.

Even more unusually for a man with his job title, the 38-year-old has helped running training sessions at Carrington after Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna left the coaching staff when Rangnick was named interim manager in December.

Despite the confusion over Fletcher's role, the German is clearly happy to have him around.
