Darren Fletcher Returns To Manchester United U18 Role After Caretaker Spell

Former Midfielder Resumes Youth Coaching Duties Following Short-Term First-Team Support.

Darren Fletcher has officially returned to his position as Manchester United’s U18 coach, bringing his brief involvement with the first team to an end after stepping in as a caretaker manager last week.

The former Scotland international was asked to provide short-term support during a transitional period at Old Trafford, offering stability and experience while the club addressed first-team matters. With that phase now concluded, Fletcher has resumed his primary responsibility of developing young talents within United’s academy system.

Fletcher’s return is seen as a positive move for the club’s youth setup, where his leadership, professionalism, and deep understanding of Manchester United’s culture continue to play an important role. His presence remains key as the club focuses on nurturing future first-team players from within.

The Red Devils are expected to provide further updates regarding their first-team coaching structure in the coming days.
