Man United next manager LIVE - Solskjaer talks, Glasner promise, Sir Alex Ferguson phone call

Manchester United's search for a replacement for Ruben Amorim continues, but it does seem like they are heading closer to an appointment, even if it's not a permanent one.

The club announced the departure of Amorim on Monday. It came after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United and his subsequent outburst in his post-match press conference.

Former midfielder Darren Fletcher will take charge of the team for tonight's Premier League clash against Burnley. He will be helped by former defender Jonny Evans, who will return to the club just months after leaving.

While the game is going on, work is likely to be happening in the background on an appointment. It's suggested that former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in talks over taking charge of the club until the end of the season, although Michael Carrick is also being linked.

In terms of a permanent appointment, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is a name that has been mentioned. The Austrian is out of contract at Selhurst Park at the end of the season.

Stay here for all of the latest throughout the day around the appointment of a new manager.

Darren Fletcher revealed the first phone call he made after being offered the role of Manchester United's interim head coach was to Sir Alex Ferguson, as he sought the blessing of his former boss before taking on the Old Trafford role. Fletcher was offered the position on Monday morning after United sacked Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff. However, he spoke to Ferguson about the job first, seeking the 84-year-old's guidance on whether he should accept it.

Fletcher spent 20 years as an academy graduate and player at Old Trafford, with 18 of those years under the guidance of Ferguson, who remains a regular at United games and at Carrington.
