Man Utd midfielder Fletcher: Nothing wrong with Chelsea striker Torres' form

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is impressed by Chelsea striker Fernando Torres' form this season.

Fletcher remains impressed by Torres.

"I think his performances have been good since the start of the season," said the Scotland captain.

"Maybe he hasn't had the goals but if you look at his overall performance he has looked, hungry, dangerous and lively.

"Maybe he is a little too keen at times. I think his sending-off (for Chelsea against Swansea) was down to his sheer determination to do well and show people that he cares.

"But watching the game against Czech Republic the other night, he did his role for the team.

"He held a high line, he stretched the Czech Republic as much as he could and threatened in behind which gave the space for the creative players to keep the ball in midfield.

"So it was a fantastic performance for the team without getting the rewards of a goal."
