The Scot was eager to finally see the midfielder in action, who spent the last nine months recuperating on the sidelines.
Darren Fletcher’s nightmare injury run finally came to an end last night at Old Trafford, as the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 skipper was able to make his Manchester United comeback from a bowel condition.
The Academy-graduate had been nursing Ulcerative colitis since December of last year and after being told by doctors to rest, started training the reserves for the time being. And as time went on, slowly but surely he began to find his old strength back
and last month took part in a friendly game against Aberdeen.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson later revealed that the 28-year-old would probably making his return in the Capital One Cup against Newcastle United, but his appearance at the Theatre of Dreams was a major boost for the club and fans alike.
Last year, it was Benfica who witnessed the Scotsman plying his trade in the middle of the park and although this time around the opponents were different, the aura of the UEFA Champions League remained the same.
While he was not up to his usual standards, he did a fairly decent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and will only improve in the long-term as he begins to overcome his well-documented health problems.
Everyone associated with the Reds were grateful to see him on the field, but none so more than Fergie, who claimed that he was very happy for the experienced veteran.
"He’s been out for a long time and I think the supporters recognise what a difficult time the lad’s had. That [the reception the crowd gave Fletcher] was a mark of respect to a really honest and tremendous young lad. I was pleased for him,” he said.
"He didn’t do great, but he didn’t do badly. Taking into consideration it was his first game for ten months, I think he acquitted himself very well,” the long-serving manager was quoted as saying.
Considering how the last few months have been for Fletcher, the player himself will be pleased after coming very close to retirement. But now he can focus on winning back his place in the starting line-up, with the closely contested match with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809
right around the corner.
