The veteran tactician named the Scottish midfielder in his squad for the game against Aberdeen and even allowed him to make his return from an 8-month injury layoff.
While Manchester United failed to get into top gear at the Pittodrie Stadium yesterday and eventually succumbed to a 2-1 loss, there was good news on the horizon for the Reds, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 was finally able to play once again.
The 28-year-old has been struggling with a chronic bowel condition for the past few months and was on the sidelines for the club’s Premier League campaign after being told to rest by doctors last November.
His combative attitude in the centre of the park has been sorely missed with Manchester City winning the title in the end.
Nonetheless Ferguson will be able to count on the Academy graduate’s services once again after he proved his fitness by playing some crucial minutes in Neil Simpson’s tribute game.
Although securing a regular berth will not be an easy task, given the arrivals of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 and Nick Powell, Fletcher has the manager’s confidence as he looks to revive his career.
"It's been quiet progress for the boy. He joined in training a couple of weeks ago and it's one of those situations where you say: 'Let's see how he does because he has had a really difficult time in the last year'."
"Therefore, I wasn't really placing too much hope in it but let's see how he does. He's got to the stage now where he feels he needs a game. I let him join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 this week but he wanted a game so I said: 'Come to Aberdeen and join up afterwards'. I'll
give him 20 to 25 minutes,” Fergie said to the media.
United have strengthened considerably over the summer, as they look retake the trophy from their cross-town rivals, and Fletcher is a similar case, a new signing if you will considering that he hasn’t played for a long time.
The team’s main problem was midfield last time around but now they have enough quality options to challenge anyone in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and even Europe if it comes to that.
