West Ham still optimistic over move for Man Utd's Fletcher

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has not given up on signing Darren Fletcher from Manchester United. The Scotland captain Fletcher has been granted a free transfer to allow him to move to another club during the mid-season transfer window.

"It's still a possibility. But it's not absolutely certain," Allardyce said.

Allardyce indicated on Tuesday that the signing of Fletcher would depend on whether the midfielder wanted to make the move.

"We'd like a quality player of Darren's talent, if that's at all possible, but if it doesn't happen, we're not in a position where we desperately need players."
