Neville: Fletcher will keep Man Utd from falling apart

Former Manchester United coach Phil Neville feels Darren Fletcher is the man to keep the club together.

United continued last term's disastrous form with an opening home defeat by Swansea - provoking fears from Paul Scholes they could be spiralling towards obscurity.

But Neville said: "Throughout the years, you have always had a homegrown player - from the class of '92 through the John O'Shea-Wes Brown era.

"It has to be people that have been there a long time and who know the fabric of the club. And nobody knows it more than Darren Fletcher."
