ON Darren Fletcher
"Darren played for the
reserves on Wednesday, which has hopefully brought
him on and we have Blackpool next week and Gary
Neville's testimonial on the Tuesday before the
final, so that gives us the opportunity to get him
right." |
 |
Darren
Fletcher
“We still have to get that
point,” said Fletcher. “We still have a job to do.
The Chelsea result has set us up but we want to win
the match.
“We will be going to win the match because we know
how important it is for the fans." |
