Darren Fletcher insists Manchester United can cope without club legend Paul Scholes.

Many still bemoan the loss of Scholes, now retired, and believe a gaping hole has been left in United's midfield as a consequence.

But Fletcher believes the team is learning to adapt. He said: "Obviously, Scholesy had a wonderful range of passing and could control the tempo of games and, as we get more experienced, that's something we'll be looking to do.

"Manchester United always keeps moving forward. If one player leaves or retires the team is still in place.

"The manager has always kept things moving forward. This club never stands still."
