Fergie fights for ‘fair’ Fletch


ALEX FERGUSON has hit back at Arsene Wenger's "anti-football" blast at Manchester United.


Arsenal boss Wenger appeared to target United midfielder Darren Fletcher after the 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford a fortnight ago.



The Frenchman talked of one United player committing 20 fouls without being booked.



Fergie admitted Fletcher put himself about against the Gunners. But he also insisted his fellow Scotsman plays by the book.



The United manager said: "Darren Fletcher is one of the most honest and fairest players in the game.



"Because he wins the ball and he does it fairly, that's what has probably annoyed them. But that's his job - that's what he's good at.



"He's marvellous at pressing the ball, his energy is incredible.



"The other thing about Darren Fletcher he always seems to be man of the match against Arsenal.



"They seem to be the club that Darren seems to star against all the time."
