The former England international is regarded as one the most talented players to have worn the United shirt given his exquisite passing range and impressive goal record from midfield. Scholes helped fire the Red Devils to 11 league titles and three FA Cups under legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson. Despite playing alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane, ex-United midfielder Fletcher named Scholes as his best United team-mate. ’As always, Scholesy springs to mind, he was an absolute joke,’ Fletcher told the MUTV Group Chat. ‘I know everyone says it, day in, day out, his football brain was on another level to everyone else, his touch, his awareness. Scholes is one of United’s best ever players (Picture: Getty Images)‘You can talk about physical athletes and things like that, listen, [I’m] not saying Scholes wasn’t an athlete, but it wasn’t his biggest strength, but his brain and his touch and his footballing ability was next level. ‘But, it’s hard to say because I’ve played with so many, obviously Cristiano [Ronaldo]. Listen, the team was full of world class players. ‘It’s so unfair to pick one, but for being a midfielder, I couldn’t have had any better than the two that I came into the team beside, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, it doesn’t get any better than that for a number of reasons.

Liputanviral - Jesse Lingard disebut menjadi sosok lain dalam kemenangan Manchester United atas Tottenham Hotspur. Eks gelandang MU, Darren Fletcher, yang mengungkapkan itu. MU menang 1-0 atas Spurs dalam laga yang berlangsung di Wembley, Minggu (13/1/2019) menjelang tengah malam WIB. Marcus Rashford menjadi penentu kemenangan The Red Devils atas The Lilywhites. Pemain lain yang tampil menonjol adalah David De Gea. Kiper asal Spanyol itu melakukan sebanyak 11 penyelamatan. Fletcher mengemukakan peran Lingard dalam skema 4-2-3-1 yang dimainkan oleh Ole Gunnaer Solskjaer saat melawan Tottenham. Dia menjadi pengganggu para pemain Tottenham, dengan melakukan tekanan saat para pemain tim London utara itu menguasai bola. Lingard dicatat oleh Whoscored melakukan dua kali tackle, sekali memblok tendangan, dan sekali melakukan tendangan. Dalam pengamatan Fletcher, pergerakan Lingard juga turut berperan pada gol kemenangan MU. "Peran kunci dalam bagian teratas formasi berlian adalah Lingard. Dia merupakan pemain tengah serba bisa, segera kembali memenangi bola, membuat mereka tertekan dan bisa membaca umpan. Itu yang menjadi awal gol kemenangan," kata Fletcher di Daily Mail. "Anda bisa melihat reaksi dari staf pada gol, seperti itulah saat permainan berjalan sesuai rencana dan sempurna," dia menambahkan. Read the full article

Liputanviral - Mantan pemain Manchester United, Darren Fletcher, ikut berkomentar soal keputusan klub yang baru saja memecat Jose Mourinho dari posisi manajer. Fletcher berharap hal ini tidak menimbulkan masalah baru di klub. United resmi memberhentikan Mourinho dari posisi manajer pada Selasa (18/12) waktu setempat. Kejadian ini tentu saja tidak lepas dari hasil buruk yang diraih oleh United pada musim 2018/19, termasuk saat kalah dari Liverpool. Selain prestasi yang buruk, kabar lain menyebut jika ada keretakan di skuat United. Mourinho bermusuhan dengan beberapa pemain yang dimotori oleh Paul Pogba. Pemain asal Prancis itu diklaim akan pindah jika Mourinho tak dipecat.   Bukan Kemenangan Pogba Darren Fletcher tidak menampik jika ada isu perpecahan antara Mourinho dengan pemain United. Bahkan, dia secara terbuka menilai Pogba tidak bermain bagus di beberapa laga terakhir. Jika memang itu kasusnya, Fletcher merasa United dalam masalah besar. "Saya pikir Pogba tidak bermain bagus beberapa laga terakhir," ucap Fletcher pada BBC. "Semua orang membicarakan hal itu. Siapa yang akan pindah, apakah itu Mourinho atau Paul Pogba. Sekarang, jika Pogba mulai berpikir bahwa dia lebih besar dari Mourinho, maka ini akan jadi masalah selanjutnya." "Seseorang harus datang untu mengendalikan Pogba dan berkata 'Dengar, ini bukan tentang pertarungan Anda dengan Mourinho dan Anda yang menang. Anda harus membuktikan kualitas Anda sekarang'," tandas Fletcher.   Berharap Pada Manajer Baru Pasca pemecatan Jose Mourinho, United masih belum juga mengumumkan siapa yang akan jadi manajer resmi klub. Beredar kabar jika sosok Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yang akan menjabat sebagai manajer interim. Siapa pun yang menjabat kelak, Fletcher ingin dia mampu mengendalikan ruang ganti pemain dengan baik. "Seorang manajer baru yang datang ke United harus menuntut lebih banyak dari Pogba, untuk memimpin tim ini lebih baik," tandas Fletcher. Read the full article
