Fletcher: In His Own Words...

“I have started to have a bit more input in the game, maybe start taking control, especially when I play in the centre of midfield. I try and get on the ball, trying to control the game and make things happen."

“I don’t think age matters at a club like Manchester United. The standards here are about ability – you can’t make concessions for somebody’s age.”

“Most games are won because of the way you control games in midfield. From there you can dictate the game and dominate possession."

Fletcher: In The Words Of Others...

"Fletch underlines what

United are all about. He is a world-class player and I wouldn't swap him for any other in the world.” Wayne Rooney

“He has shown such great determination and the great thing is he is still maturing. I still believe he has a lot of strength to get. He is still a bit gangly and a bit coltish but in two years' time, he will be much stronger." Sir Alex Ferguson

“He impressed me from the very first moment I saw him. He has got the potential to be outstanding. He's got unbelievable talent but he's got a good head on him and that's what I like about Fletch.” Roy Keane
