Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has blamed "futile" friendlies for the absence of midfielder Darren Fletcher with a knee ligament injury. Fletcher, 24, played 90 minutes for Scotland against Croatia in midweek, but will now be out for six weeks.
"We've had a bad blow with Darren and it emphasises the futility of playing these friendly games," said Ferguson.
"He should have played for 45 or 60 minutes at most, but he played the full game so he's out for six weeks."
Fletcher was left out of United's squad for the 3-0 win over Liverpool last weekend, but recovered sufficiently to play in George Burley's first game in charge of Scotland.
Why is he still playing for us? He is crap. I know why... SCOTTISH![]()
