Quotes

Darren Fletcher

Interim manager of Manchester United

“Managing Manchester United is one of the most difficult challenges out there, especially in this difficult period. I just look at the quality and the players that we have in the squad. I think, if they can come together as a team, unify and come behind whoever is going to lead them forward, they are capable of achieving what they need to achieve. Finish in top four or five, Champions League place has got to be the objective. Definitely, they have the talent to do it. But they are the ones who have go out on the pitch. For me, the players have got to take responsibility for that as well. It is not on the manager. It is not on the club. It is on everyone together and they have to step up to the plate now. They have got a lot of leaders in the group. They have to come together as a team and dig deep to win matches.”
