Darren Fletcher's impressive efforts to find full fitness have earned him a spot in Sir Alex Ferguson's squad for Saturday.
The
United midfielder played 90 minutes on Tuesday night, in a
reserve-team friendly at Stalybridge Celtic, and while he may only be a
tracksuited observer against Wigan, be it among the subs or in the
stands, it's nevertheless another step forward for the popular Scot.
"Darren's
training well and played in the reserves on Tuesday night. The next
step is when we can involve him in a game in the first team," said Sir
Alex at Friday's pre-match press conference.
"He's in the squad
tomorrow, simply because I think it will give him a boost. It's a chance
to progress. At this moment in time everything's going fine for him.
"We
understand the condition he has to deal with [ulcerative collitis].
That can change but hopefully he's managed to conquer it in terms of his
diet and how he handles it. Things are going well at the moment."
