West Bromwich Albion will compete with West Ham United for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.

The Daily Mail says Fletcher is expected to move on in order to gain more regular football as he has only made 16 appearances this season, the last of which was against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.

That has alerted Sam Allardyce, who is a keen admirer of the 30-year-old and wants to bring Fletcher to Upton Park to provide experience, as West Ham chase the dream of having European football when they move to the Olympic Stadium.

West Brom are also understood to have ambitions of signing Fletcher, who has accepted that his opportunities to play for Louis van Gaal are going to decrease as he continues to overhaul United's squad in the future.

A move to The Hawthorns might be attractive from a personal point of view as Fletcher would not necessarily have to leave home. He is expected to make his decision over the next fortnight.
