UNITED : Fletcher: We'll Have To Grind Out Results

/noticias.info/ Darren Fletcher acknowledges that United will have to find a few more 1-0 victories to mount a title challenge, as the Reds saw off Aston Villa on Saturday.

United created a plethora of chances against David O'Leary's side, but only found the net once.

Fletcher, who made his third consecutive start in United's midfield against Villa, says the Reds must keep their winning start to the season going for as long as possible.

"We know that teams come to Old Trafford and try to frustrate us," he said after the match.

"We just have to keeping playing our passing game and try not to be too direct. We know what we have to do, but that doesn't always make it easy.

"We've hit the ground running this season and performed well. We have ground out a 1-0 result against Aston Villa, which gives us six points out of six. We have to keep that going.

"Fair play to Villa, they came here and put men behind the ball. They made it difficult for us, but we knew that if we kept creating chances eventually a breakthrough would come, and it did."

Van Nistelrooy got the all-important goal, and Fletcher says the Dutchman, who has scored in all of United's first three fixtures, is vital to the team.

"Ruud's flying just now," he said. "His game is all about scoring goals, and he is proving that this season."

Although Fletcher is widely considered a regular starter for the Reds, the Scottish international won't rest on his laurels.

"I don't see myself as a regular, so there are still a few nerves when the team-sheet is read out," he admits. "I'm still learning and I am happy that I've started in the last three games. I just hope that continues."
