Fletcher takes a break

On behalf of Darren Fletcher, Manchester United wishes to announce that he is taking an extended break from football for health reasons.

Over the past year he has had several absence periods which we have attributed to a viral illness in order to respect his right to medical confidentiality. Darren has, in fact, been suffering from ulcerative colitis (a chronic inflammatory bowel condition) for some time preceding this.

Whilst he was able to maintain remission of symptoms for a considerable period this has proved more difficult recently and Darren’s continued desire to play and his loyalty to both his club and country has probably compromised the chances of optimising his own health and fitness.

He has therefore accepted medical advice to take an extended break from the demands of training and playing in order to afford the best chance possible of achieving full remission once again.

We request that his privacy is respected and hope that the removal of the additional stress associated with speculation regarding his health will also aid his recovery.

Always thought Fletcher looked ill, but put it down to his Scottish parlour.

That leaves them with Jones, Gibson, Giggs, Carrick and Park to cover the central midfield until January

Cleverly out til Jan
Anderson out til Feb

Wow - they look a little thin on the ground. Guess Fergie will be on the look out for a central midfielder (or two) come January.

Or just play Phil Jones versus.

We all dream of a team of Jones.

Not Jones', just Jones.

Because he's that good.

Rumour amongst the Blue & Red Mancs in work, is that Berbatov's been shagging Fletcher's Mrs & it's related to that.
