Darren Fletcher makes appearance for Manchester United

Darren Fletcher made an appearance for Manchester United in Tuesday's 2-1 testimonial defeat against Aberdeen.

The 28-year-old midfielder had not played since November, when he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis - a chronic bowel condition.
Jonny Hayes and Joe Shaughnessy put Aberdeen in front, before Anderson's late consolation.

Fletcher had been training with the Scotland squad ahead of their friendly against Australia on Wednesday.

The testimonial at Pittodrie on Tuesday night was a benefit game for Neil Simpson, who was part of United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's side when he guided Aberdeen to the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983.
Fletcher, who took the captain's armband when coming on as a second-half substitute, received a loud reception from a sell-out 21,000 crowd.
