A hardworking, grafter who relishes a big game as Chelsea, Arsenal and AS Roma can all confirm
Despite his first-team chances being limited by the likes of Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick, Fletcher has shown his worth when called upon.
The Scot came through the United schoolboy ranks, but his first few seasons were marred by injury.
He made his debut in March 2003, and the following season won a regular first-team place, impressing with his all-action performances, harrying for the ball then bursting forward.
In and out of the side after that, he had a particularly impressive 2006-07, playing 40 times and scoring vital goals as United won the Premiership.
Very much a squad player, he remains a reliable midfield option.
