Darren Fletcher has confirmed he will remain as Manchester United's interim coach for the FA Cup third-round tie with Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday. "They have informed me they would like me to take the team on Sunday," said Fletcher. They remain despite Fletcher immediately moving away from the Portuguese coach's 3-4-3 set-up in favour of a back four. If there is a positive, it is that Fletcher exceeded that figure in his first game in charge. "He will be a big part of Manchester United's future, I have no doubts about that."
