West Ham United 'make bid for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher'

West Ham United have made an offer for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher, according to reports.

Fletcher is out of contract at the end of the season, and he has struggled to play regular first-team football since the arrival of manager Louis van Gaal last summer.

The Mirror says that Hammers boss Sam Allardyce believes that the 30-year-old could be enticed by the potential prospect of European football next season, although it is understood he would like to move abroad.

The report claims that Fletcher is also a target for West Bromwich Albion as the chances of an exit from United increase this month, and he is expected to make a decision on his future by the end of this window.

Fletcher has been on the books at Old Trafford since he was 11 years old.
