On taking the role of head coach on a temporary basis after the sacking of Ruben Amorim: "It's an amazing honour to be able to lead a Manchester United team. I don't even think it was in my wildest dreams that it was something that could potentially happen. Fletcher said he has had a "conversation" with director of football Jason Wilcox and they will speak more regarding his role after the Burnley match. Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes will return from injury and be back in the squad but will be on "restricted minutes". They are in the periphery squad, but whether they make the matchday squad, it remains to be seen."
