Man Utd expert sent Celtic vs Rangers pointers by Darren Fletcher

Andy Mitten, creator of 'United We Stand', said he attended the recent derby at [Celtic Park](https://www.celticway.co.uk/topics/celtic-park/?ref=au), where Rangers defeated the [Scottish Premiership](https://www.celticway.co.uk/news/24288320.scottish-premiership-profile---everything-need-know/?ref=au) champions 3-1. This resulted in the sacking of Wilfried Nancy two days later.

Just 24 hours after the game in Glasgow, Ruben Amorim managed his last game as Man United boss following an outburst in the media after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. Fletcher was appointed as caretaker manager, with Michael Carrick now firmly in the frame to take the reins until the end of the season.

Mitten says Fletcher sent him a list of players to keep an eye out for during his time watching the Celtic vs Rangers clash.

"They bring in Darren Fletcher, I've got a very high opinion of Darren Fletcher," he told talkSPORT. "I was speaking to him, all last Saturday, I went to Celtic vs Rangers and he was telling me which players to watch out for.

"He is a childhood Celtic fan, but I don't think he knew what was going to happen the following day."

He added: "I think he'll make a very good manager, Darren Fletcher, I don't know where that will be, I think he spoke well, but that was only for a couple of games, and then it now looks like Michael Carrick, I spoke with a Solskjaer several times, last week as well, these are difficult times.

"I don't have a panacea of the problems at Manchester United right now, it's been a very disappointing season, league form has picked up, but cup form has been atrocious, there were 22 cup games last year, there have been two this year, the one season where Manchester United needed to be in doing rather domestic cups was this season."
