The current short-term interim head coach, Darren Fletcher, said after the 2-1 defeat by Brighton in the FA Cup that he has now reached the end of his agreed period in charge of the first team, and he will report to the Carrington Training Centre on Monday to find out what the club want from him next. I think it's a no brainer if that's the situation but I think that the club needs is people around the place, so whether that's if Michael goes in for instance, Fletch or John O'Shea or myself or whoever it needs people around the club who know the football and Roy Keane, I think. Defeat to Grimsby in the Carabao Cup second round, then a first defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup also made it the first time United have been knocked out the two domestic cup competitions at the first hurdle since the 1981-82 season.
