Fletcher to step up transfers role at Man Utd

Manchester United technical director Darren Fletcher is set to step up his role during the summer market.

The Daily Mail says former player Fletcher is set to play a more visible role in United's recruitment process this summer.

Matt Judge, who often led meetings with potential targets and their agents, is leaving United and Fletcher will take over some of those responsibilities.

The Scot won numerous trophies with United as a player under Sir Alex Ferguson and is in a good position to enthuse prospective recruits about what playing for the club means.

Fletcher has been working on the training pitch since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking earlier this season.
