At first, Darren Fletcher was staying at Manchester United. Then he was going to West Ham. Then he was staying again, and Louis van Gaal was happy to keep him. 

Now, he's leaving after all:

Fletcher, who's started just four matches this season, was set to be a free agent at the end of the season.

He spoke about the move:

This is a fantastic new challenge for me in my career.

I've spent my career at Manchester United and it's all I've ever known. But I felt it was the right time to move and I'm not sentimental about doing that.
