Fletcher praises Man Utd pair Wootton, Keane for Cup win

Manchester United pair Scott Wootton and Michael Keane won praise after last night's Capital One Cup win over Newcastle United.

Keane went into the match with just one substitutes' appearance under his belt, whilst Wootton was making his debut.

"For two young centre-halves playing against top strikers they were fantastic," said Darren Fletcher, who was making his first start after 10 months out combating a chronic bowel condition.

"They were talking to me the whole game."
