Man Utd's Fletcher: MLS appeals to most players

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has kept the door ajar for a potential move to play MLS later in his career.

The 26-year old Scotland international is in the USA with the rest of the Red Devils for their pre-season tour and said that MLS appealed to plenty of players and did not rule out one day playing in North America's top flight.

"Obviously you can never rule anything out. I think everything about MLS appeals to players and everything about America- it is a great country," he said in a question and answer on the Kansas City Wizards official website.

"You also see how MLS has progressed. Each year you see something new. The league keeps getting bigger and bigger. I know a lot of the young kids in America are playing football. I think it's a massively grown sport, and I think it will just keep getting bigger and bigger.

"You never know, there some great teams that I know would be a big attraction to a lot of players and obviously having David Beckham go out there - it doesn't get any better than him. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more player head out there."
