Darren Fletcher is expecting a challenge from Swansea when Man Utd arrive in town on Saturday<\/p>\n
Fletcher told manutd.com\u00a0“It’s a new experience for us all.<\/p>\n
“They’re the first Welsh team in the Premier League and going there will be a great experience.<\/p>\n
“Swansea have been applauded for the football they’ve played this season.<\/p>\n
“When I was on international duty, I spoke to a couple of my Scotland team-mates who have played against them and they told me how well Swansea keep the ball.<\/p>\n
“They play football in the right way and have been a breath of fresh air since coming into the Premier League. It’s going to be a real challenge for us.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure this is the sort of fixture Swansea and their fans have been dreaming about for years.<\/p>\n
“Welsh fans are always passionate and I’m sure the stadium will be packed out so it should be a fantastic atmosphere.”<\/p>\n
Fletcher also revealed a friendship with Alan Tate who looked after the Scottish international when he first arrived at Old Trafford<\/p>\n
“He was a couple of years older than me and always looked after me and made sure I was okay when I first came to Manchester.<\/p>\n
“I’ll always remember him for that. He’s recovering from a bad injury at the moment and the sooner he gets back in the team the better it’ll be for Swansea because he’s a top player.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
