Keane wants United’s Fletcher at Sunderland

Roy Keane is not happy with the additions which he has made to his squad this summer and those which he will make in the near future. The former Manchester United captain is looking to strengthen all areas of his team and will look to use his connections and strong relationships to convince some players to join Sunderland.

According to News of the World, one of the players that he wants at his club is former team mate Darren Fletcher. Roy Keane infamously criticized Fletcher just before he was sacked by Manchester United in 2005. Now it seems that Keane’s opinion of the hard working Scot has improved.

But, the same report goes on to mention that Keane’s bid for Fletcher – believed to be worth about £5 million – was rejected by Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to keep the 24 year old at his club.
