Fletcher: United will Kick On

Darren Fletcher is confident Manchester United are in a position to 'kick on' during the second half of the season.
United will be top of the Premier League table at Christmas after local rivals Manchester City lost to Everton on Monday and remain the only unbeaten team in England.
Though the Red Devils' performances have lacked consistency, Fletcher believes the players have been laying the groundwork for the New Year.
The midfielder feels United are improving and is expecting the team to produce their traditional best form during the closing months of the season.
"We will kick on in the New Year," said Fletcher in the Daily Mirror. "We will certainly be physically ready for the challenges ahead.
"The performance of the team and individual performance levels are rising.
"As a general rule it's important you do your base work early on and then kick on after Christmas."

Fletcher: I'm Not a Dirt Player

Darren Fletcher insists he is not a 'dirty player' following past criticism from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
The midfielder's performance in Manchester United's home win over Arsenal last season prompted Wenger to question the approach of the Scotland international.
Ahead of Monday's showdown with the Gunners at Old Trafford, Fletcher has defended his style of play.
Fletcher is not dwelling on Wenger's criticism and believes referees are aware of his combative approach to helping United win games.
"Things are said in the heat of the moment and I would rather not dwell on it," said Fletcher.
"I don't think I'm a dirty player, I know I'm not a dirty player.
"I go to win the ball and sometimes you give away fouls doing that, but it's not malicious. It's all part of the British game.
"The referees here use a lot of common sense and they know when players are generally trying to win the ball and those going out to hurt people."
Fletcher also believes that Samir Nasri poses the biggest threat to United on Monday, with the midfielder having scored 12 goals this season.
"He's their form player right now," added Fletcher. "He's looking determined, the player who has taken on the mantle of being the man to make things happen."
