Should we press, Ralf?! Darren Fletcher appears to communicate with incoming Manchester United interim manager Rangnick via EARPIECE during hard-fought draw at Chelsea

Manchester United chief Darren Fletcher has been accused of communicating with Ralf Rangnick during the club's 1-1 draw against Chelsea.

The Red Devils, under the stewardship of caretaker manager Michael Carrick, secured a point at Stamford Bridge after Jadon Sancho's opener was cancelled out by Jorginho's penalty to bring the hosts level.

And United technical director Fletcher, also in the dugout, was pictured during the game using an earpiece, with some suggesting he was talking to incoming interim manager Rangnick to discuss, for example, tactics or substitutions.
