Ashley Fletcher has thanked two West Brom players for the help and guidance they gave him when he was growing up at Manchester United.

The young striker was keen to sent his gratitude via the official site to Albion captain Darren Fletcher and centre-half Jonny Evans. There’s a chance he could come up against the duo when the Hammers this afternoon and he told www.whufc.com:
“Jonny Evans and Darren Fletcher were big influences to me. They always spoke to me and gave me advice and are really good professional footballers.“They both played for Manchester United for I don’t know how many games, so they both have that Manchester United brand to their names, and they’ve gone on to have unbelievable careers with West Brom.

“I’ll look forward to seeing them, hopefully, and we’ll move on from there.”
