Manchester United boss David Moyes admits Darren Fletcher is getting closer to a first team return.
Moyes is delighted the old Fletcher is surfacing at United's training complex again but he remains cautious about his senior comeback.
"Darren is not quite ready yet. He has a bit to do yet in terms of more reserve games and a little bit more time," said the Reds boss.
"But it is great to see him out training regularly. That is a big thing. He is beginning to look like a footballer again. I think that in itself is a real plus for him.
"I wouldn't want to put a date on a comeback because of the illness he's had it is just something we have to take as we go along. He is training well. He is looking good and we will try and keep that continuing."
