Ralf's at the wheel? Fletcher seen speaking on earpiece during Chelsea clash
Manchester United fans are convinced Ralf Rangnick masterminded the side’s 1-1 against Chelsea by guiding Darren Fletcher through the match.
Jadon Sancho gave United the lead at Stamford Bridge after pouncing on a poor touch from Jorginho but the Italian made amends by levelling from the spot after Aaron Wan-Bissaka brought down Thiago Silva.
Michael Carrick has been in temporary charge since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal but Fletcher – United’s technical director – has been on the bench for both matches since the Norwegian’s sacking.
Carrick spent the majority of the match in west London on the touchline but Fletcher was seen speaking into an earpiece on the bench.
United’s backroom staff were all on the bench so it raises questions over who Fletcher could have been speaking to.
Rangnick is set to be appointed interim manager this week and supporters believe the German was conducting the side’s tactics by guiding Fletcher, who was vocal throughout, the game.
