Man Utd midfielder Fletcher insists Bayern Munich as tough as it gets

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher believes their Champions League draw with Bayern Munich is as tough as it gets.

The quarterfinal is a repeat of United's famous 1999 Champions League success.

Fletcher told manutd.com: "I think it’s a tough one and outside Barcelona it’s probably as tough a draw as we could have got. I was talking to Gary Neville and he said we’ve had a lot of tough games against them over the years. We played Bayern in pre-season and we were very impressed with them. They’ve hit a bit of form since Christmas and are a real danger in the tournament."

On the 1999 triumph, Fletcher recalled: "I was at home watching with my dad and I remember jumping up and down when United scored the two late goals. That night was obviously a great night in the club’s history and even though we didn’t play too well we showed that resilience and never-say-die attitude to win it at the end."
