• Head coach goes after outburst at Leeds game

• Glasner and Iraola among long-term candidates

Ruben Amorim was sacked by Manchester United on Monday morning after 14 months as their head coach. He departs after a power struggle with the hierarchy over transfer policy, with Amorim demanding his ­colleagues in the recruitment department “do their job” following Sunday’s draw at Leeds.

His immediate replacement is Darren Fletcher, who takes charge as interim head coach. The Scot, a former United midfielder and the ­current under-18s coach, will lead the side at Burnley on Wednesday and could remain in charge for Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Brighton.
