Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher pulled out of a move to West Ham United after the Londoners attempted to change the terms. The Mail on Sunday says Fletcher, 30, was poised to sign for the Hammers yesterday after travelling to London on Friday to undergo a medical and discuss terms.
However, after further talks, West Ham then tried to make the transfer a loan rather than a permanent deal and Fletcher and United pulled the plug.
He had been due to sign a two and a half year deal worth around £60,000 a week.
United, meanwhile, insist the deal fell through due to West Ham's negotiating tactics. Talk of a failed medical for the Scot have been rubbished, with it confirmed that he is one of only four players to have a 100 per cent attendance record for club training sessions this season.
