Fletch’s tribute to ageing stars

Darren Fletcher has paid tribute to Manchester United’s ageing stars, claiming they are an inspiration to the club’s younger players. Ryan Giggs, 36, and 35-year-olds Paul Scholes and Gary Neville all starred in United’s last-gasp win over Manchester City last weekend, a result that catapulted them right back into the title race. "Players like them are wanted here because they're an inspiration to us,” said 26-year-old Fletcher on Tuesday. "Scholesy is a legend - we won't ever see another one like him. If I can get anywhere near to that when I am 35, I'll be very happy." Fletcher has been one of United’s best players this season commanding the midfield with increasing authority. United trail EPL leaders Chelsea by one point with three matches to play.
