Darren Fletcher leaves a Manchester United club that's in first place in the Premier League?

Man United midfielder Darren Fletcher will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to resolve his bowel condition.

United says it was a "planned procedure ... in the best interests of his long-term health.''

The Scotland international returned in September after 10 months out recovering from ulcerative colitis - a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.

But United says "we look forward to him returning next season with this problem firmly behind him.''
