Darren Fletcher wants to see SaidoBerahino back in shape

Categories Darren Fletcher, ,

The 31 year old Scottish captain of West Bromwich Albion wants to his teammate SaidoBerahino get back in the main team of the Premier League and not give up his career in the English club which has seen the younger player struggle as he has had to spend the majority of the season in the sidelines but Fletcher believes that Berahino has what it takes to get in the first team of Tony Pullis.

Fletcher has urged Berahino to follow the footsteps of StephaneSessegnon. Sessegnon is a 31 year old forward who was on the verge of leaving West Bromwich Albion after having some problems with the head manager Tony Pullis and he Sessegnon was dropped to the sidelines of the team for a significantly long period of time but the Beninese has managed to work his way up and has now become a regular starter for the Premier League club which is a huge change for a player who was on the brink of leaving and not getting any playing time.

“The manager has proved that if you’re not featuring but you do get a chance and play well, you will stay in the team. That is evident with Sess. Players who are not in the team should look to that and realize if you perform when you’re given your chance the manager will stick with you. Sess is an example to everyone. Saido is a great kid who is not in the team right now but he’s got to keep his head down because he’s a great talent and he’s got a number of years to play.” West Bromwich Albion’s Darren Fletcher said as he told SaidoBerahino to use StephaneSessegnon as an example.

Categories Darren Fletcher, , , ,

As Darren Fletcher’s career with Manchester United progressed, the Scottish midfielder was getting fewer and fewer playing time in Old Trafford. In the previous 3 seasons of Darren Fletcher, he was able to get less than 30 appearances and the player eventually decided to continue his career by making a move to another club where his chances on getting into the main team are higher.

On February of 2015, Fletcher signed for West Bromwich Albion on a free transfer and has even turned into the captain of the Premier League club.

Fletcher has so far made 7 appearances in his new club, West Bromwich Albion and the veteran midfielder stated that he feels better than ever now that he is able to make consistent appearances for his team after having left Manchester United and recovered from the ulcerative colitis which he suffered from some time ago.

“Since I’ve been back I’ve felt great, the first few matches you’re looking to get your match rhythm back but I really feel it’s there now.With every game I feel stronger and I’m loving every minute.Even after playing 90 minutes last weekend I felt I could go straight out and play again.” The Scottish player Darren Fletcher said as he revealed his satisfaction in performing regularly for a club.

Even though Fletcher is not a regular player for Louis van Gaal, the Dutch coach has stated that he remains being an important figure for the entire team and it will be a loss for the club but it’s something that happens in football: ‘’He’s my third captain so he is an important guy in the dressing room. I like him as a human being and a player.We shall miss him. But he has not played many times.  That is the main goal of a player and we have talked about that and he preferred to play therefore we have helped him.’’ Louis van Gaal said.

Darren Fletcher Surgery for Bowel Condition

Categories Darren Fletcher, , , ,

Darren Fletcher had to undergo a surgery in order to resolve his bowel condition problem which has affected him on a number of occasions in his career. The surgery was completed on January of 2013 and after Louis van Gaal appointed Darren Fletcher as the vice-captain of Manchester United, the Scottish midfielder was expected to make a return to Old Trafford and turn into a regular player but it never happened as Fletcher is mostly sitting on the sidelines of Manchester United as a substitute player.

The Scottish midfielder is fully recovered from his past injuries but still remains playing a substitute role for Manchester United but his lack of club appearances have affected him for Scotland as he is not being called up to represent his country after falling behind in the pecking order.

The contract of Fletcher expires at the end of the current season and his future is starting to look uncertain.

There was a possibility of Fletcher being featured in the starting XI lineup of Louis van Gaal during Manchester United’s Premier League match against Arsenal as Daley Blind and Michael Carrick both had sustained injuries and this gave Darren Fletcher a chance to step it up and play an entire match for Manchester United but it did occur as the Scottish midfielder entered the pitch at the 89th minute as he replaced Ashley Young.

It does not look like Fletcher will be playing any important role for Manchester United and Louis van Gaal anytime soon due to his lack of matches and already there have been a number of clubs that have popped up as they are interested in signing the experienced Scottish midfielder if he indeed decides to leave Manchester United when his contract expires at the end of the season or even sooner during the January transfer window.

Aston Villa, Hull City and Stoke City are all of the clubs that are believed to be interested in signing Darren Fletcher on a loan deal but this will only occur if Fletcher does decide to take a step away from Manchester United.
