Fletch's giant nightmares

Darren Fletcher is having nightmares about giant striker John Carew ahead of Manchester United's clash with Aston Villa this weekend. With the current injury crisis at Old Trafford Fletcher has had to stand-in as a makeshift centre-back but is now praying that Nemanja Vidic recovers in time to mark the 1.98m Norwegian. "Do I fancy playing against Carew? I don't know about that. Hopefully Vidic will return and I'll move to right-back," commented a Fletcher on Thursday. "We have a few problems at the back and the sooner our defenders get fit the better." Michael Carrick, also a midfielder who has been playing in the heart of United’s defence, is likely to partner Vidic if he recovers in time.
