Darren Fletcher will not be following Ruud van Nistelrooy out of Manchester United for the foreseeable future, according to reports. A number of coaches have left Old Trafford following Ruben Amorim's arrival, with the former Sporting boss appointing his own staff.

Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro and Jorge Vital were all seen boarding a private jet with Amorim as he flew to England on Monday. It leaves no room for Van Nistelrooy in spite of his successful interim spell in charge.

Rene Hake, Pieter Morel and Jelle ten Rouwelaar have also left the club but Fletcher's job is reportedly safe for the time being. He will remain at United in a coaching capacity to provide a link between the academy and the senior squad, according to BBC Sport.

Fletcher will not be on the touchline for Amorim's first game in charge of United after being handed a three-game ban by the FA. He was also fined £7,500 after furiously confronting match officials during last month's victory over Brentford.

The 40-year-old has been coaching at United since 2020, intially working with the under-16 players before being appointed to a first-team role in 2021. He was later named as the club's technical director but was demoted from the position earlier this year.

Fletcher made over 340 appearances for the Red Devils as a player, winning five Premier League titles during his time at the club. He also played for West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City before retiring and embarking on his coaching career in 2020.
