Scotland No2 Mark McGhee is urging Darren Fletcher to leave Manchester United.
Fletcher is being linked with interest from Spain with Valencia. The chance to remain in the Premier League could be up for grabs from West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion while Celtic could also offer the 30-year-old a return to Scotland.
"He is a good trainer, but he likes playing. Therefore I don't think he is a lad who wants to be sitting on the bench," said McGhee. "But it is a hugely difficult thing to leave a club like Manchester United. I think we've just got to trust him to make the call when he's ready.
"Other players have done it and gone on to do brilliantly. (Phil) Neville at Everton, for instance. The boys at Sunderland, (Wes) Brown and (John) O'Shea. They have made good careers at other clubs.
"At some point he might have to bite the bullet and go and do that. Then he will be a great player at another club."
