Hull City are lining up a January bid for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.
The Daily Mail says the Tigers will lead the chase to sign Fletcher if the Scotland midfielder decides to leave Manchester United in January.
Fletcher has become an increasingly peripheral figure at Old Trafford since he was appointed vice-captain by Louis van Gaal in the summer and started United's first three games of the season. The 30-year-old has played less than half an hour of club football as a substitute since August, including a late appearance off he bench in last weekend's win at Arsenal.
Fletcher, who has salvaged his career after recovering from a chronic bowel condition, is out of contract in the summer and still hopes that he will be offered a one-year extension.
