Fletcher upbeat over title

Darren Fletcher looked at the positives after United's defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea drew level at the top after their 2-1 win, but a vastly superior goal difference means the Reds will be champions with victories over West Ham and Wigan.

The midfielder told MUTV: “It was a disappointing result and it puts a bit of pressure on us.

"But the positive we must take is that it’s still in our hands, and if we concentrate and win our last two games, we will win the league.”

Fletcher’s appearance at Stamford Bridge was his first since picking up a knee injury on international duty with Scotland in March.

"In the last couple of minutes I was blowing a little bit, but that’s natural when you’ve not played for a month. My knee's still a bit painful but at a bearable level so I can play.”

Fletcher is looking forward to Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Barcelona and is confident that an electric atmosphere will help the Reds reach the final in Moscow.

“We’re coming back to Old Trafford knowing we have to win to qualify,” he said.

“It’s going to be a great night and the fans will get behind us. If you can’t get lifted for a Champions League semi-final in front of your own fans, what can you get lifted for?”
