Darren Fletcher says Manchester United were happy with their draw at Aston Villa.

United went to Villa Park to win but Fletcher admitted the Reds were "happy with a point" after playing 60 minutes with 10 men.

He told manutd.com: "Overall it was a good point and in the second half we had the majority of the ball. We felt comfortable with 10 men.

Lads at the back defended well, we kept our shape in midfield and made it difficult for Villa to break us down. Then, when we did get the opportunity to go forward, we tried to play some football and get it up to Wayne.

"Giggsy was playing some good passes and Valencia was a real problem and a great out-ball for us. We created enough half chances [to win it] but ultimately we're happy with a point.

"Before the game if you'd said the gap at the top would be one point you would have taken it. We'd have liked to have won but overall it's been a really good night for us."
