Darren Fletcher has been assured he is very much part of Sir
Alex Ferguson's plans for next season.
Fletcher was restricted to 11 starts last term, due to the strong
competition for places in United’s midfield and a knee injury
which sidelined him for most of April.
But the Scot’s superb two-goal FA Cup display against Arsenal
in February demonstrated his ability to rise to the occasion,
a trait Ferguson values highly.
The Reds boss told Sky Sports: “He’s been very unlucky, but
he keeps coming back. He’s an important player to us.
“He always plays well in big games – that’s the great value he
brings to the club. He’s a big-game player and we’ve plenty of
big games, so he’ll play his part.”
Fletcher revealed in May that his frustration at not playing
every week motivates him to succeed when he does get a
chance.
“You have to take disappointment and use it as a fuel,” the
24-year-old said. “If you’re not selected then you have to
think to yourself ‘I’m going to make an impact if I get on’.
You can’t let your head get down at all.
“I’ve picked up injuries at bad times when I’ve got into the
team and started to play well. We have a great squad here
and I have to be patient.”

I'm so glad to hear Fergie is taking care of Fletch. He's a good guy. He sits there patiently waiting for his chance to play. Then when the chance finally comes along he very rarely let's us down !!
A good man and a good servant for United ... what do you think ?
