Vice Kapitan to be... :p |
Darren Fletcher is set to become Manchester United's vice-captain from next season, Goal.com UK can reveal.
The all-action midfielder is regarded as a natural leader by Sir Alex Ferguson and will wear the armband when captain Nemanja Vidic is unavailable.
It means the Scot will leapfrog Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra in the pecking order at Old Trafford and become the official No.2 on the pitch.
Fletcher, 27, is in advanced talks over a new five-year deal worth £20 million as a reward for his consistently excellent performances in recent years.
And Ferguson has told aides he wants Fletcher as vice-captain to give long-term continuity to United's leadership on the pitch.
Serbian defender Vidic took the captaincy away from Ferdinand earlier this season because of the England defender's injury problems while Giggs is close to retirement and does not feature in every game.
Fletcher is considered a driving influence at Old Trafford both on the pitch and in the dressing room, is a first choice midfielder and speaks well to the media.
The Scotland captain's representatives have been in talks for a number of months over a new deal, with his current contract due to expire at the end of next season. Evra and Giggs have signed contract extensions in recent weeks while talks are also ongoing over new deals for Dimitar Berbatov and Paul Scholes.
Fletcher made his United debut in 2003 and is now regarded as the club's main central midfielder. He has made 32 appearances for United so far this season as they target glory in the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup.
Ferguson is keen to add reinforcements in the summer to support Fletcher and is lining up moves for Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric, Everton's Jack Rodwell and Jordan Henderson of Sunderland.

Fletcher ke..Giggsy ke..Rio ke..Evra ke..aku tak kisah sangat la asalkan player tu mampu memberi semangat kepada team member lain bila team tengah DOWN dalam match!! Betol tak?? Tapi kira ok gak kot kalo SAF nak amik si Fletcher jadi vice captain..dia main penuh semangat macam si Vida gak!! Pastu main tak kenal lelah..main kejar je mana bola tu pegi..takel pun bole tahan!! Bukannyer yg lain tu tak ok tapi kan si Giggsy nak retired and SAF pun tak mungkin akan mainkan Giggsy tiap perlawanan..si Rio lak, dah nasib dia selalu injured..then si Evra, dia ok gak kot..main best..takel n dribbling pun best!! Kira Fletcher ni ada competitor la utk jawatan vice kapitan nanti..ekeeke!! Apapun its up to the gaffer..what do u guyz think?? Any other player should be United's vice captain candidate?? Sama2 kiter tunggu dan lihat next season nanti..!! GGMU..
