West Brom midfielder Fletcher delighted with winning Man Utd return

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Darren Fletcher enjoyed a winning return to Manchester United last night.

Fletcher, who left Old Trafford for the Baggies earlier this year, oversaw a win which came thanks to Chris Brunt's free-kick, which was deflected in by team-mate Jonas Olsson.

"We knew it was going to be difficult," Fletcher told Sky Sports 1. "But everyone defended for their lives. It was fantastic.

"We frustrated them. We always believed we'd score off a chance or set-piece; thankfully that worked today.

"We spoke about trying to win individual battles. Boaz (Myhill) has saved a penalty as well. Sometimes you need that. The game plan to frustrate them and sneak a goal worked."
