Manchester United's Interim Boss: 'Unbelievable' Fernandes and Bringing Positivity Back
Darren Fletcher, the former Manchester United midfielder who has been appointed as the club's interim boss, described his first 24 hours in charge as "surreal" and "a dream come true." When asked about taking over on such short notice, Fletcher said: "It's beyond my wildest dreams that I'd be sitting here leading a Manchester United team. It's been thrown upon me and probably a good thing because I've not had time to think."
Fletcher, who has spent the last six months coaching the club's U18s, was asked about his first press conference as interim boss and how he handled it. He said: "I tried my best to speak one-on-one with players I don't know well, like Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens. But one player I do know well is Bruno Fernandes, our captain."
Fernandes was described by Fletcher as "unbelievable" and someone who has been a great leader for the club. He praised Fernandes' ability to help all players and do his best for the team, saying: "Bruno knows his responsibility as a captain - to help all the players, to help and do the best for the club."
Fletcher also spoke about playing style, saying that he wants his side to play with enthusiasm, energy, and be positive when they get the ball. He emphasized the importance of teamwork, spirit, and energy in Manchester United's game. "Football nowadays, formations are fluid in and out of possession in different phases," he said. "I want to see the players play with enthusiasm, energy, and be really positive when they get the ball. Don't hide."
Fletcher's interim appointment has brought a sense of positivity back to Old Trafford, which has been missing for some time due to the chaotic week that has seen several changes in management. However, Fletcher seems to have a deep understanding of the club and its history, having played for United as a player and later returning to coach the U18s.
As Manchester United prepares to face Burnley on Wednesday night, fans are hopeful that Fletcher's positivity will be contagious. The match kicks off at 8:15pm, and it will be interesting to see how the team performs under their new interim boss.

but like, I don't know if he's the right guy for the job 
. I mean, I love his positivity and all that jazz 
, but can he really bring some stability to the club? It seems kinda weird that a coach who hasn't even had time to think would be in charge of such a massive team 
. And what's with all this emphasis on Bruno Fernandes being "unbelievable"? I mean, don't get me wrong, he's awesome and all, but is it really fair to put so much pressure on him? 
. And who knows, maybe his positivity will rub off on the players and they'll start playing with enthusiasm and energy 
. But, like, can we really count on it? 
fernandes is literally my guy 
he's been carrying that team on his back for months now and no one even noticed 
darren fletcher seems like a breath of fresh air too 
i'm loving the soundbite about not hiding and playing with enthusiasm and energy 
that's what united needs right now 
️ some much needed positivity after all those drama-filled weeks 
bring it on burnley 
fam is goin through a tough time but darren fletcher comin in as the interim boss seems like a breath of fresh air 
bringin positivity back 2 old trafford cant wait 2 c how he'll implement his playstyle & get the team fired up again 
wish him all d best!
the fact that he knows his way around the club history-wise is just a bonus 
so yeah lets go man utd!! 
the fact that he knows fernandes inside out is huge too, those two seem like they're going to make some magic happen 
i'm definitely hoping to see a change in man utd's fortunes under fletcher's interim bossship 
. And what about all the changes that happened last week? Is this just another example of how hard it is for teams to maintain stability? I think it says more about the system than anything else. Maybe we need to rethink the whole way football clubs are run in England, you know? 
. Bring positivity back to Old Trafford? I'm all in on that 
I'm so glad to hear about Darren Fletcher taking over as Manchester United's interim boss! He seems like the perfect guy to bring some positivity back to Old Trafford
