Fletcher will be the interim manager for Manchester United's next Premier League game against Burnley on Wednesday. With Ruben Amorim no longer the Manchester United manager, the club is rumored to hire a newly regarded manager to replace him.

One reason for the continued expectation on the shoulders of Amorim was United’s hefty transfer spend. For all the cost-cutting elsewhere, funding for new players has been in spritely supply under Sir Jim Ratcliffe: over £500million has been spent on new players in less than two years of his involvement.

Semenyo’s £65m City move looks tempting, but fierce competition and Pep’s mixed record with Premier League buys cast real doubt
