11 Jan
Summary
- Darren Fletcher leads Manchester United as interim manager.
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may take over as early as next week.

Manchester United faces Brighton in a significant FA Cup encounter today, with Darren Fletcher continuing in his interim management role. Fletcher took charge following Ruben Amorim's dismissal last week and will lead the team at Old Trafford. The club is actively seeking a manager to guide them through the remainder of the season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly in discussions to assume control soon.
Brighton, currently trailing Manchester United by three points in the Premier League, are focused on achieving an upset in the cup. The Seagulls have never won the FA Cup, but they reached the final in 1983, where they were defeated by Manchester United. This historic context adds an intriguing layer to today's fixture.
The match is scheduled for Sunday, January 11th, at 4:30 PM GMT at Old Trafford. It will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK, with streaming options available. Both teams have injury concerns, with Manchester United potentially missing players involved in the Africa Cup of Nations and Brighton assessing a few minor issues.
