Fergie: Fletcher Will Get His Chance

On the contrary, the United boss has vowed to give the Scotland international midfielder every chance to regain a first team place in the final few months of the season.

"I feel for Darren Fletcher," Fergie told the Manchester Evening News.

"I have not been playing him in the last two or three games but he is a fantastic player for United.

"He never lets us down. He plays well in all the big games.

"He must be feeling down but I will make sure he gets his opportunities because you need players like him in the squad."
