Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has played his first game for the club as he continues his comeback.

The Scot was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel condition, in December 2011. It has limited him to just 13 games since then.

Fletcher's last action with the first team was last St Stephens Day in a 4 - 3 win over Newcastle United.

Yesterday the 29-year-old played 67 minutes of an U21 game.

Ahead of tonight's game, David Moyes is likely to rest Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie.
