Man Utd's Fletcher reports his recovery going well

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher says he's happy with his recovery from serious illness.

The midfielder has been given an indefinite break from training and playing in a bid to overcome ulcerative colitis, a chronic bowel inflammation, and gave an update on his health as a special guest on Sky Sports.

"I'm still on the medication, I'm still not training, but slowly but surely I'm getting better," he confirmed. "I'm not putting a timescale on it (a comeback), I think that's the best thing. With the condition it's hard to tell.

"I want to be 100 percent when I come back. I think I've tried before when that's not been the case and it's proven very difficult, so this time I want to make sure I'm 100 percent, which is going to benefit Scotland and Manchester United."
