Darren Fletcher and Thomas Vermaelen made their returns to action in Manchester United’s reserve clash with Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Scotland international Fletcher had a 45-minute run-out as United’s second string drew 0-0 with their Gunners counterparts at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fletcher had been out of action with a virus since playing in the Premier League leaders’ defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on 6th March.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, he told MUTV<\/em>: “It’s great to be back and to get the minutes under my belt.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think that’s a good positive thing for me. It’s been a while and I just wanted to get back out there. Hopefully I can keep pushing forward and get myself back in the plans for the first team.”<\/span><\/p>\n

United and Arsenal meet in the Premier League at the Emirates on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked if he was in contention for that one, Fletcher added: “I don’t know. I’ll see how I am tomorrow – I’m not going to rush it and set myself back.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Gunners boost<\/span><\/h4>\n

Vermaelen has been out of action for seven months with an Achilles problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Belgium international last played for Arsenal on 28th August against Blackburn and he had a number of aborted comebacks this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has been sorely missed in the heart of the Arsenal defence with the side’s title challenge faltering this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Arsenal will take any chances on Vermaelen by including him back in the first-team before the end of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
