The strangest Manchester United transfer story you'll see this week

Each week or so we pick out a story which is quite possibly the most ludicrous piece of transfer reporting that week, usually they never go anywhere but sometimes they pick up steam and end up as full blown transfers sagas. This one will surely disappear without trace.

German football website 4-4-2 claim that Dynamo Kiev are interested in a Manchester United player. Indeed, they are said to be 'courting' him, so who could this be? Well, Darren Fletcher of course.

Yes, the same Darren Fletcher who has recently returned after a prolonged spell on the sidelines with illness.

The same Darren Fletcher who is aware he will have to manage his situation carefully for the rest of his life.

The same Darren Fletcher who this week said he's never going to be 100% fit. The same Darren Fletcher who is being used sensibly by Sir Alex Ferguson who has guided his career from being a youngster.
Yep, that Darren Fletcher.

Putting aside the practical issues like his contract being for another two and a half years and the insurmountable hurdle of a club medical, it's just odd to think that Darren Fletcher would entertain the idea of moving his family to Ukraine and having to set-up a whole new medical network to manage his condition. It's equally odd to think that Dynamo Kiev would commit a big chunk of money to a player whose career is managed from month to month.

This is truly one of the more 'out there' rumours.
