The role of Manchester United technical director Darren Fletcher has become crucial to defuse the tense situation between the staff and the Red Devils players.

There have already been reports of a split between Cristiano Ronaldo and interim coach Ralf Rangnick, and some players who saw tensions at United.

The Portuguese striker has also been linked with a move away this summer after a string of poor performances, which saw him not even get invited for a few games.

However, it is already said that calm is coming to the club from Old Trafford and only one man is deserving.

According to The Sun, it was former midfielder Fletcher who has been the club’s savior, acting as a ‘peacemaker’ in the midst of this tension – with players warming up in his presence.

His contribution to the team is seen as ‘so important’ at a time when players are struggling to adapt to Rangnick’s pressure system, as well as guidance from German assistant Chris Armas.

Fletcher quickly took on an influential role at the club, having initially run their academy before becoming first team coach and then technical director.
