Darren Fletcher was appointed to the technical director position in March 2021 under football director John Murtough.

However, there have been rumours regarding Fletcher's future ever since Sir Jim Ratcliffe became United's co-owner.

This comes after Ten Hag appointed deputy managers Rene Hake and Ruud van Nistelrooy and added first-team coach Andreas Georgson.
Sporting director Dan Ashworth has highlighted these adjustments as a key component of United's strategy.

Ashworth said, "Together with Erik, we are working to strengthen all areas of our men's first-team operations, and refreshing the coaching staff is an important part of that.
"It's a particular pleasure to welcome Ruud back to the club where he enjoyed so much success as a player, and I know that he and Rene will help reinforce the winning mentality and high standards we are aiming for."

Despite his little decline in Ten Hag's inner circle, Fletcher is expected to still be in the Old Trafford dugout.
