Midfielder Darren Fletcher will stay in Manchester and will not travel with the team to the tour in the United States.

It is hoped that the 27-year-old footballer, who lost weight due to a virus and has only appeared on the field once since March 1, will be able to play in Paul Scholes's farewell match or the "Community Shield" match.

"Darren will stay at the training base in Carrington and will train according to a special program," said a representative of the 'Red Devils' to the press. "We want to give him the opportunity to be healthy and ready for the start of the new season."
