Darren Fletcher nears Manchester United return

By , Reporter
Darren Fletcher trains with the Manchester United first team as he continues his recovery from illness.

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is close to making a return to football following a 22-month battle with a chronic bowel condition.

The former Scotland captain, who has undergone two operations as well as months of intensive treatment, trained with the club's first team this week.

Fletcher is a part of Red Devils manager David Moyes's plans, and has targeted next month as a possible date for his comeback, according to the Daily Star.

The 29-year-old has not played for United since their Boxing Day win over Newcastle United in 2012.
