Fletcher facing Man Utd January sale

Darren Fletcher could be on the move from Manchester United in January.

The Daily Express says the 30-year-old Scotland midfielder has failed to break into Louis van Gaal's side on a consistent basis this season, despite returning to fitness after a long lay off.

The Dutchman has continually changed his midfield - and his formation as a whole - as he tried to find the right balance.

Daley Blind, Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini have been Van Gaal's main players and Michael Carrick has just returned to action - although faces another spell on the sidelines - and Fletcher has rarely played since the opening weeks.

He's only made two substitute appearances since the first three games of the season and so far United have picked up just four wins in their first 11 games and sit seventh, 13 points behind leaders Chelsea.
