Fletcher option could be good news for Fergie

I’VE seen Barcelona many times this season. They’re impressive enough on the television but when you actually see them live and playing in the big expanse of the Nou Camp they’re an outstanding team and it’s going to be a huge test for United.

I would suggest that for Alex Ferguson, it’s about finding a way. If you’re brave and press them high up the field then they can obviously draw you out of your own defensive positions and at some point in the game, they’ll create chances going the other way.

If you sit back and try to soak up the pressure, because of their ability, at some point they’ll create chances. So it’s very difficult to keep them out for 90 minutes, irrespective of what game plan you have.
