Darren Fletcher has welcomed the return of Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs from his arm injury.

Giggs has been out for over a month with a fractured arm.

"Ryan's experience at handling pressure situations is going to be vital," said Scotland skipper Fletcher.

"The moment that spoke volumes about that was his touch and pass in the last minute of injury time against Manchester City earlier this season. It was the last minute of a pressure game but he didn't panic. He has so much experience in these situations and it is great to have him back."

Even Giggs' colleagues are amazed at the glorious autumn he is having to such a stellar career.

With the PFA player of the year and the BBC Sports Personality of the year added to a trophy collection that could be swollen by a 12th championship medal in May, at least his individual brilliance has received wider recognition.

Not that the United dressing room needed telling.

"Ryan has been revitalised," said Fletcher. "He is not the flying winger that he once was but he has adapted.

"He has probably got the most assists because he still has the eye for a killer pass and floats into inside areas where he is hard to mark. He still has that burst of pace over first five or 10 yards as well that means he can get away from opponents.

"He is a really intelligent player and a great player to play with."
