Sir Alex’s brilliant gesture for Darren Fletcher
Fletcher, who left Stoke City last summer after two seasons with the Championship club, is now thinking of his next steps in football.
The 2008 Champions League winner is studying for his coaching badges, although he admits that, for a combination of reasons, he’s not quite ready to transition into the dugout just yet.
“[COVID-19] has obviously slowed things down a bit but [coaching] is the path I want to go down. I’m quite calm about it though, I don’t want to rush into it.
“I want to prepare myself for that busy life and that intensity of coaching and management and the impact it’ll have on my family life.
“I’m happy to take my time in doing it. If I still think I can play, I might end up joining in training or doing something silly I regret.
“I need to get my mind complete away from football before I can really progress on that next stage.”
