Darren Fletcher insists he is full focused on
becoming a first-team regular at Manchester United, amid reports he
is wanted by Everton. The 24-year-old midfielder has been a
bit-part player since progressing through the ranks at Old
Trafford, and Toffees boss David Moyes is reportedly trying to
persuade him to jump ship.
But Scotland international Fletcher dismissed talk of a transfer
as speculation, adding on MUTV: "You just learn to deal with that
as your time progresses here. "The most important thing is you're
focused on Manchester United. Unless someone tells you otherwise,
that's what you do."
Fletcher made just 24 appearances for United last season and is
looking to play more of a part this term. "To play in more matches
than last season, that's obviously the target each season," he
said. "You do your bit, you're patient and you've got to wait for
your chance. I'll be ready to take my chance when it comes and I'll
hopeful play a few more matches."
Fletcher is also unfazed by the prospect of United's squad
growing this summer, saying: "I don't think much needs to change
but fresh faces are always good. Competition for places is always
going to be at Manchester United. "It's something you've got to
rise to."
