Fergie hails Fletcher influence
DARREN FLETCHER returns to the Manchester United side to face CSKA Moscow tonight with Sir Alex Ferguson delighted his fellow Scot's industry is now receiving full acclaim.
For many years, the 25-year-old midfielder remained a peripheral figure at Old Trafford, with most fans questioning why he remained at the club. But over the past 18 months, the Dalkeith-born star has become one of the most influential members of Ferguson's squad.
"Most people now recognise Darren Fletcher as a big-game player," said Ferguson. "We have been aware of that for quite a while. Now he is getting an acceptance that he is a very important player for us."
