Not even that for me. He's just not a Premier League footballer anymore.

He seems slower than everyone else on the pitch.
Diabolical. Poor passing, doesn't defend. Inexplicable to make him vice captain this season
He's that bad he's on par with Cleverley should take up a coaching role or be moved on.
Its actually painful to see him playing like this.
I wonder what kind of intensity our work on the training ground is done at, since LvG hasn't seen that the guy's miles off the pace (just as he was the last time he played in the league).
He's such a liability it's not even funny. Couple that with Cleverley's horrid and cowardly performance and we're getting outgunned by Sunderland.

Just fecking ship him off, I'm sick to death of seeing him now and its getting annoying. He makes Fellainis look like Xavi when it comes to controlling the ball. Honestly Darren, just do the club a favour and announce your retirement
He was far worse than Cleverley today, not even comparable.
This so much. Aweful.
Not even squad quality.....
Sadly.
Sadly.
Our vice captain ladies and gentlemen.
So many underhit passes. I'ts a shame to see him like this.
I understand him losing his athleticism, but why is his touch so poor? A decent touch is one of those basics you'd expect every professional footballer to have. Fletcher, today, is almost booting it forward when he receives it.
2015 cannot come any quicker, Carrick obvious is a keeper, but fletcher Anderson and Cleverley, with those 3 gone that is wages off the books.
Sadly not. Cleverley has been better but there's not a lot in it
Coached to play football by Darren Fletcher? What an exciting prospect for a professional footballer.
And Tom Cleverley is 2 levels above him and that's saying something, at least Cleverley can play short passes and can control a ball.
I would say his energy was one of his main attributes during his best time for us. He always had average technique and passing skills.
Take that energy away and you have Fletcher 2014. Not his fault really...

That's about £150k a week off our books plus some transfer fees, enough to replace with 2 upgraded CMs
Just dreadful. Please can we bring in a midfielder before the end of the window. We will finish bottom half if Fletcher and Cleverley start our games.
He's just so clearly not up to it any more unfortunately. I was watching that half through my fingers for the most part when the ball was in midfield, both when Sunderland were walking through ours at will and when Fletch or Cleverley were on the ball themselves.
Fletcher has an excuse Cleverley is mid twenties and completely shite. Not even funny anymore that he gets to pull on the shirt. I'd honestly rather have Scholes Giggs or even Anderson than TC23!
The fear in his game...if I could've had a £50 for every time he mis-controlled the ball! Shocking that the pressure has done this to him. Fletch used to be one of our leaders. We did well hrs season after selling Ronnie, in large part, cos he stepped up. He's so far from his 2009-10 self it's unreal.
Sentimentality is slowly killing this club.
We literally have one of the best attacks in the world, but have a championship midfield. 
How is that possible?
How is that possible?I'm done with a sentiment. Being overplayed against Sunderland like a kid, falling on the ground from every challenge, constantly losing the ball, can't even pass properly... 1st half shows he would have physical problems even on Championship division level.
You can't make this shit up. If your midfield can't compete with Sunderland you can as well give chances to Powell and Pearson.
This chronic disease he had is taking it's toll in a saddest way.

I know, hard time and all that with his sickness but this is G.Neville type of bad the season before he retired.
Why does he require five touches to even have a look up?
I hate admitting it, but it's what I've been thinking too.
Thought he played well in preseason but this is shambolic.
I would honestly rather have Anderson in the middle. At least he would add energy and forwards passes to our game.
Yeah you're probably right, to be fair.
This.
We should have been brutal, football is brutal and if we don't change our ways we'll slip further down the ladder.
Buy out their contracts why not, but it seems we are so short on numbers, we have too make due with this lot. They give Valencia a new contract , so I would not be surprised of fletcher and Cleverley get new contracts
No idea how he's vice captain as well. Sentimentality.
Good subs. (young is a disgrace)
Awful, awful performance. Such a shame to see.
Would not be sad if that were the last time we saw him in a United shirt.
I don't expect anything from him ,Cleverly, Young and Smalling except average performance here and there.
he loves the club and that's the most important for central midfielder.
Not good enough for PL football. Give him some role at United where he can talk some nonsense and write a book or sth.
