Fletcher to step in for injured Man Utd teammate Fellaini

Darren Fletcher could start for Manchester United at Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

Wayne Rooney may have declared himself fit to play despite a toe injury, but Rafael and Marouane Fellaini missed United's final training session and could therefore be absent from the starting XI.

Fellaini's absence could open the door for Fletcher, who is desperate to play in a Champions League final after missing the last two through illness and suspension.

"Playing in a final has always been a dream of mine ever since I've been a small boy, but circumstances have prevented me (from doing so)," the midfielder said.

"Winning takes you closer to final and helps you achieve that but it's the club and team getting there which is more important than individual. The most important thing for us is to get to the semi finals."
