Fletcher admits Man Utd fans deserve better

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher admits fans deserve better after their FA Cup defeat at the hands of Swansea City.

The experienced Scot has implored his team-mates to respond with a victory in Tuesday's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg against Sunderland.

Speaking to MUTV, Fletcher stated: "It's a really disappointed dressing room in there. It's a massive blow, let's not kid ourselves, this is a bad result. There's a lot of angry, hurt players and we feel like we've let the manager and the fans down.

"I thought we were the stronger team in the first half and that was the point where we should have gone on and finished the game off, or definitely taken the lead. We never managed to do that and the red card gave them a great boost in the last 10 minutes, and they went on to get the winning goal."
