07/15/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has admitted he wants to end his career at the club.
The Scotland international has been at the club for a decade and has already made 255 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's first team.
The 26-year-old is dreaming of emulating the successes of veterans Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, who still remain at Old Trafford.
Speaking to reporters, he said: "You look at it as a step down if you leave. If you're lucky enough to stay, you'll have played at the top for your whole career and it doesn't get much bigger than Manchester United.
"Players who left say, 'Think twice before you leave, because there's nowhere like Manchester United. Everything about the club makes it the place you want to be. No-one really thinks about leaving when you're here.'
"Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are almost like urban legends. They're fantastic role models for younger players like me to have."
Meanwhile, Fletcher has admitted he can see why the likes of David Beckham and Thierry Henry have opted to join Major League Soccer in the United States.
The Red Devils are currently in America as their preseason preparations continue and the Scot has been impressed with what he has witnessed so far.
"Everything about MLS and America - it's a great country - appeals to players," he added. "You see how MLS has progressed, the league keeps getting bigger. It's a massively growing sport.
"There are great teams that would be big attractions to players. I wouldn't be surprised to see more players head out here."

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
