Manchester United midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 earns applauds from Arsenal legend Martin Keown
Former Arsenal midfielder and legend Martin Keown has heaped praise on Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher for his outstanding display against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 despite their 2-1 defeat.
“He may have been on the losing team, but Darren Fletcher was an unsung hero - the amount of ground he covered was incredible. As well as tucking in to help out in central midfield, the Scot had the job of stopping http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 have too much influence on the game and regularly closed him down brilliantly,’ he said.
Even though Fletcher was on the losing side but he showed great energy in the midfield and was a constant threat for Chelsea left back Ashley Cole. Sir Alex Ferguson deployed a four man midfield and Fletcher played on the right side because of injuries to regular wingers Ji Sung Park and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345.
Fletcher has developed himself as one of the finest midfielders in the game with some eye catching performances in the big matches. Given his recent form, Fletcher is the first name on United’s team sheet in a match.
Fletcher developed from United’s youth ranks and made his professional debut in a UEFA Champion’s League match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 but his consistent performances in the central midfield role pushed the manager to use him as a central midfielder.
In his early years with the Red Devils, Fletcher was criticised by the United legend and club captain at that time, Roy Keane, who doubted the Scott’s talent and said that he was not worthy of playing for United. Later, Keane was forced to take his words back after Fletcher established himself as a regular member of the United team.
Fletcher has made 289 appearances for Manchester United and has scored 21 goals so far.
