Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher admits it'll be tough watching the Champions League from the outside next season.

The Scot says the idea of not being amongst the best teams in Europe does not sit well with him.

"Watching the Champions League (on television) next year will be difficult to take," the Scot said. "We are used to playing in it all my career. This will be the first time we are not there.

"Hopefully the biggest thing that can do is give you more determination to get back in it."
