Darren Fletcher says Manchester United's players want to do the fans proud tonight against Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

The Scotland midfielder says the crowd have an important part to play.

"We've seen [the fans at Old Trafford] at their best all season," Fletcher told MUTV. "They've been fantastic. Everyone else seems to be criticising and writing stuff but the fans have really stuck behind us as a team and we see that as players. There are times where we've lost matches and they still applaud us coming off the pitch.

"We've got a special bunch of fans and we want to reward them. Winning 4-1 against Aston Villa was good and sent the fans home happy. But I know they'll all be looking to Tuesday and getting behind us again. Hopefully we can do them proud."
