Manchester United caretaker manager Darren Fletcher admits he's not had any contact with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe since taking charge.

Fletcher has stepped up from his U18 role after Monday's dismissal of Ruben Amorim.

Asked if there's been any contact or congratulations from Ratcliffe, Fletcher told The Sun: “I have not, no. I speak to Omar (Berrada, chief exec) and Jason (Wilcox, sporting director).

“For me, I have been focusing on the job in hand. No thoughts or conversations on my future.

“They have given me full responsibility to take control for these two games.”

He added: “I’ve had responsibility for my own decisions, to lead the team and prepare the team, that is what I have been doing.

“There have been no conversations with anybody outside of those two people in higher-up positions in the club.”

United meet Brighton in the FA Cup third round this weekend.
