Darren Fletcher has expained his role at Manchester United to a fans forum.

Fletcher is officially the club's technical director but has been very visible alongside interim manager Ralf Rangnick on matchdays, almost as assistant manager.

The Scot spoke to the United Fans' Forum last Friday and clarified the situation.

"With Ralf and his staff coming in, and Michael (Carrick and Kieran (McKenna) choosing to move on, we had a quick transition process, so part of my role has been to assist with that, both on the training pitch and during games," he said.

"I guess that's been the most visible part for me this season, but that's really an addition to my overall Technical Director role.

"Probably the key part of the role is taking a holistic view of the path for players from our Academy to our First Team. That pipeline of Academy talent is a massive part of who we are as a club."
