The Scotland international will look on at Ewood Park where Blackburn provide the opposition and has found it hard to watch United after suffering the setback playing for Scotland last month.

"I have turned into a mental fan now I am not on the pitch," Fletcher said. "I really need to calm down. People are looking at me and wondering 'who is that lunatic?'"

He added: "I find myself in the directors boss questioning referees' decisions.

"But it is just getting to that stage where the club want to achieve so many things.

"I am desperate to get back but have to make do with being in the crowd, so that is frustrating."

Fletcher is halfway through his expected six week lay-off and making a good recovery.

However he finds managing a knee injury in the company of his twin 13-month-old boys Jack and Tyler an interesting exercise.

"They do help you take your mind off things," he said. They are great and I am loving every minute with them. My hard work starts in the afternoon. I go to training for a rest!

"The first week was a bit difficult at home but after that I could move around. One of them would be on the couch and the other one heading for the window, so you need your wits about you. Mind you I can't go chasing them too much."
