The tactician claimed that he was delighted with the way http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 performed, as they both were coming off from an extended run on the sidelines.
Manchester United’s brand of football might not have been appealing to the eye when the Reds beat Newcastle United at Old Trafford, but they sure got the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 getting amongst the goals.
That has been the case for the club in their glorious history, with the English giants securing victory most of the time without ever playing really well. It was the same last night, but there was also good news on the horizon, with Rooney and Fletcher making
their return.
Rooney had been out since the Fulham game with a bad gash on his leg, while Fletcher spent almost an entire year on the sidelines following a bowel condition.
Nonetheless, they stood out whilst tackling the Magpies and were on the end of some choice words from Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson after they secured a place in the round of the Capital One Cup.
Speaking to reporters, the tactician claimed that both the midfielder and striker were brilliant during the entire time they played and commented that his side had shown their determination to win with a typically gritty display in the middle of the park.
“Darren Fletcher has had a great 90 minutes and Wayne Rooney had a terrific performance, he tired understandably, but I’m really pleased. We played really good football and interchanged throughout the match. Okay, we didn’t have the width we normally have
but that was the plan: to play with a tight midfield and they have all done well.”
Fletcher was also delighted to finally take part in professional football and claimed that he enjoyed the electric atmosphere at the Theatre of Dreams last night.
“It is great to be back. I have had a few reserve games and a run-out in the Champions League last week but it is good to be back, especially at Old Trafford, and in a winning team as well,” the Scottish star was quoted as saying.
