Darren Fletcher says Manchester United CAN win the Champions League this season and appears to aim sly dig at rivals Liverpool
Did former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher aim a sly dig at rivals Liverpool as he tipped the Red Devils for Champions League glory on talkSPORT?The Scot joined the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on Tuesday morning, ahead of the first leg of Uniteds last-16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford.The draw was mostly met with trepidation by United fans when it was made back in December but a lot has happened since then with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the helm.2

Solskjaer is still unbeaten during his interim reign, with ten wins and a draw from 11 games

Solskjaer has transformed the fortunes of the Old Trafford club and with PSG missing a number of key players, including Neymar, there is a sense the in-form Red Devils could stun the French champions.And Fletcher who says the Norwegian has brought an element of Sir Alex Fergusons ‘fearless’ playing style back to Old Trafford believes this United side have a great chance to be crowned European championssaying worse teams have lifted the trophy in recent history. Asked if United can win the Champions League this season, Fletcher told talkSPORT: Yeah, without a doubt.The Real Madrids and Barcelonas of old who everyone fancied to win it, theyre are not quite where they used to be, its very open, and Man United are hitting form at the right time.And I think worse teams than this Man United team have won the Champions League in previous history, or at least get to the latter stages of the finals.I have seen worse team go all the way.2

Was Fletcher slyly referring to Liverpool’s surprise 2005 win in Istanbul?

Sometimes in this tournament its not necessary the best team that wins it, its the in-form team.Theyve definitely got the capabilities, theyve got the match winners, and Ole definitely has got that Manchester United mindset.Hell be thinking: We can win this competition.The Old Trafford crowd will be absolutely rocking tonight and I think it could take them a long way.
