Evans to work alongside Fletcher
Former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is assisting Darren Fletcher in Wednesday's Premier League clash at Burnley.
Evans, so popular at the club in his two spells with the Reds, retired from football at the end of last season.
The Northern Irishman remained with the Reds as head of loans and pathways and is now focused on helping his former team-mate ensure the squad is in the best shape for the trip to Lancashire.
Press conference part one: Burnley v United
PRESS CONFERENCE 1 | Darren Fletcher opens by saying it’s an amazing honour to lead a United team…
Under-21s boss Travis Binnion and recent addition to the Academy coaching set-up, Alan Wright, will also form part of the coaching team for the Turf Moor fixture, which kicks off at 20:15 GMT.
When asked about who was assisting him, Fletcher replied: "So Travis Binnion, who leads the Under-21s, who I started my coaching career with in the Academy, whom I’ve know for five years that I've been here.
"I actually couldn't ask for anybody better beside me than Travis, we’ve got such a close relationship together, for such a long time, [he is] somebody I respect, somebody who I've learned a lot from.
"His assistant, Alan Wright, who is newly joined [at] the club as well, so the Under-21s staff come and join me, and Jonny Evans has come in to help as well.
"[He is] somebody who has a great association with the club, recently played, knows the players, is comfortable in the environment and a familiar face for the group and the players as well, so those three will assist me for the game tomorrow."
