Midfielder Fletcher targeting return to action next season

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is targeting a return to action next season.

Fletcher has been sidelined for an indefinite period as he seeks to find a way of managing a chronic bowel condition. The Scotland international is trying a variety of different ways of overcoming the problem in a manner that would allow him to continue his career.

That other high-profile sports stars, including Steve Redgrave, have managed it does offer genuine reason for optimism. However, the 28-year-old has written off playing any further part in United’s Premier League title bid this season.
