Suspended Fletcher: United Are Ready

Football - Manchester United v Arsenal UEFA Champions League Semi Final First Leg


Manchester United's midfielder Darren Fletcher will miss the Champion's League final this Wednesday due to suspension, but he believes that Man United are ready to take on Barcelona.

Fletcher was wrongly sent off against Arsenal and what was even more wrong about his situation is that UEFA couldn't/wouldn't overturn his red card. There is nothing Fletcher can do on Wednesday he will have to do what the fans do- sit back and watch.

Fletcher believes that the squad can now go on and win the Champion's League for the second time in two years.

"I think it's good to be going into the Champions League final with a bit of rest, it's been a long season.
"It would have been difficult if we'd been trying to win the league here, we knew it would be a tough, physical match.
"With two days' rest, to go and play Barcelona in the final would have been difficult, but fortunately we won the league early, with a game to spare.
"The lads have rested up and hopefully they'll be ready to go against Barcelona."

"I will travel, I'll travel as a fan. I'll be like all the rest of the United fans, cheering the lads on, hoping we win the trophy.
"Two great attacking teams known for their qualities of attacking, probably two of the best sides in Europe this season, both winning their domestic leagues.
"It sets it up nicely for what should be a fantastic final but we'll take any sort of victory."


Fletcher also spoke about Man United's 1-0 victory over Hull yesterday in the final day of this seasons Premier League.

"There are a lot of young players here with a lot to prove and they don't get many chances.
"It was a great Manchester United squad and whenever they do get the chance it is important they go out and take it.
"I thought most of them did that, it was a good result."
