Should Manchester United sell Fletcher?
Darren Fletcher has done well for Manchester United and he probably still has a job to do for us, but for his career’s sake and for the sake of the younger players at Manchester United it might be time for him to leave.
I don’t think SAF would part with Fletcher just yet though – the gaffer has a habit of hanging on to players he likes for a season too long, and Fletch could stay on this season and then be forced to leave through a stiffling lack of first-team opportunities after that.
In any case, there are rumours that clubs are sniffing around Manchester United’s front door in case Fletcher is available for a transfer and if Ferguson plays it right, United could not only make a few bucks off this deal but also help Fletcher’s career on.
Options
Sunderland need a central midfielder, Manchester City are looking for one but are unlikely to sign a United player, Newcastle are reported to be interested but they already have enough in midfield (unless they want him to play right-back, which is a bit stupid) and Tottenham need a central midfielder as well but Fletcher is probably not what they have in mind when they dream about the Champions League.
Anyone else that you think would be interested in Fletcher in the Premier League (don’t see him moving to the SPL at this point)?
And while we’re at it, do you think Fletcher should stay or move on for regular football?

Send Gibson out on loan to a Prem club that can give him games. Give Fletcher a season at OT. If Gibson turns out good, then sell Fletch.
August 25th, 2007 @ 12:34Selling Fletcher: Hell to the N O. Fletcher and Gibson will be our midfield future as cover to Hargreaves and Carrick, as Scholes gets old. So we won’t have to spend on our midfield for years.
August 25th, 2007 @ 12:49please sell fletcher as he is no good for a manutd team only there because saf likes him but will never be a good player also drop giggs he is only playing on reputation.wes brown is also very poor play john o shae far better and is very underated by saf.
August 25th, 2007 @ 13:40please sell fletcher for his future…
August 25th, 2007 @ 16:00you mean hargreaves and anderson.
August 25th, 2007 @ 16:06Yes I think we are well covered in CM but he has improved but will never be as good as Anderson/Hargo/Carrick/Scholes/Gibson(hopefully a future star) Fletcher did well last season but that doesn’t make up for 3 or 4 bad ones. If he wasn’t from Scotland I fear he would never have gotten a chance in the first place.
August 26th, 2007 @ 16:46i dont see y we should sell because he isnt gonna get us much money and he seems happy to warm the bench and play 15 or so minutes.
August 26th, 2007 @ 18:29Darren Fletcher should be with a team that will give him more starts like Reading or Sunderland.
August 26th, 2007 @ 22:39I think its better we keep him for another seson.obviously saf haz noted some potential in him.we dnt want another forlan senario.remember the roma game @ o.t
