The English newspaper reports that Blues boss Alex
McLeish, who coached Fletcher with the Scotland national team, has
attempted to lure his compatriot to St. Andrew's.
The Midlands club were relegated last season but are intent on
bouncing straight back up to the Premier League, and hence have
singled out some fairly lofty transfer targets.
Fletcher has already been sounded out by a number of top-tier
teams, including Everton and Sunderland, as he is stuck behind the
likes of Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, Owen Hargreaves and
Anderson in United's midfield.
However, the 24-year-old has made plain his desire to remain at Old
Trafford, meaning McLeish and co will have to look elsewhere to
bolster their promotion bid.
