REVEALED: Valencia favoured option for Man Utd midfielder Fletcher

Valencia are clearing the decks to sign Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.

The Daily Mail says Valencia remain the preferred choice of Fletcher despite West Ham's overtures to the Manchester United midfielder.

Key to his move is the departures of Manchester City loanee Bruno Zuculini, Filipe Augusto of Rio Ave and Javi Fuego.

Zuculini has been offered to Getafe on loan while Augusto is ready to return to Portugal and Fuego, an influence in the dressing room, is looking for a better contract elsewhere.

An added complication is that Valencia coach Nuno and sporting director Francisco Rufete are slightly at odds over what the team needs but they are pressing to lose those three to make room for Fletcher.
