Fletcher loving Old Trafford life

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has insisted there is nowhere he would rather be than at Old Trafford, where he is 'loving life'.The Scotland star signed a three-year extension to his United contract on Friday, a reward for the patience he has shown throughout his career.

At 24, Fletcher knows he could be a regular performer elsewhere.

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish - who knows all about Fletcher from his Scotland days - expressed an interest last January and boyhood idols Celtic would be keen on taking the Dalkeith-born player north if he ever suggested that as an option.

However, Fletcher has never made any secret of his desire to remain with United, the club he would have made his debut for as a 16-year-old if the Football Association had not intervened on the grounds he was still, technically, at school.

"It is a great honour to sign a new contract," he said. "This is a fantastic club, the best in the world, and there is no place I would rather be.

"I know I did not start as many games as I would have liked last season but the manager thinks highly of me and I will keeping pushing for a run in the team."

Fletcher is experiencing a complete role reversal. Limited to only 11 starts last term, most of which came in the early rounds of the Champions League, the Scotland midfielder has made eight already this term, rarely dropping below the high standards he sets himself.

While he may not have the flair of Cristiano Ronaldo or be capable of the same devastating impact as Paul Scholes, Fletcher goes about his business in a quiet, efficient manner and has also added goalscoring to his list of attributes.

Fletcher has netted twice this season, although he probably should have had another instead of drilling wide when he was sent through by Dimitar Berbatov in the 2-0 win at Blackburn on Saturday.

"I am really enjoying myself at the moment," he said. "There are a lot of midfielders at the club and I found games hard to come by last season.

"I picked up a few injuries at the wrong time and the form of Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Anderson meant it was hard to get into that midfield.

"But this season there have been injuries and disruptions. I have been given a chance and once you get a run in the team you tend to improve."

If Fletcher is viewed as one of the fringe men at United, he is a mainstay of the Scotland side.

His presence will be vital to their chances of victory against Norway on Saturday as, just like United, the Scots look to maintain their recovery from a bad start by winning the World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park.

"In a way I would like to keep going with Manchester United and keep the momentum going," said Fletcher.

"But everyone loves representing their country and I am no different.

"We lost our first game but we picked up three points against Iceland and now we play Norway, which is a must-win game for us."
