Darren Fletcher at a Champions League media conference with Sir Alex Ferguson in November 2012
Darren Fletcher says he sought the blessing of his former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson before taking interim charge at Old Trafford.
Fletcher will be in charge for Wednesday's Premier League trip to Burnley following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and is likely to remain in the dugout for Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie with Brighton.
He took the role after speaking to Ferguson, 84, who was at Elland Road for Amorim's final game in charge, the 1-1 draw at Leeds, after which he gave the bombshell press conference that triggered his exit.
"I don't like to make any major decisions without speaking to Sir Alex," said the 41-year-old.
