A day after one midfielder agrees a contract extension; Darren Fletcher also signs a new deal.
Darren Fletcher has signed a new four year deal with the club. He remains a Red until at least 2015.
Speaking to manutd.com Sir Alex Ferguson has said:
“Darren has been at the club since he was fifteen years old. I am extremely proud that he came through the ranks of our youth academy. I am delighted Darren has signed a new contract, he has developed into a top-class midfielder.”
Fletcher said:
“I take great pride in playing for Manchester United, I have won many trophies in my years playing here and I am looking forward to winning many more in the seasons to come. I would like to thank everyone at the club.”
Fletcher joined the club aged 15 and was included in the first team squad at just 17 but due to league rules he couldn’t make his debut. It would be three years later he’d play his first game in March 2003 and since then he’s played 288 games scoring 21 goals.
