I honestly think Fletcher is more than "just on the fringes" yes United had a great season but you can't say that Scholes and Carrick have been bang in form all season.
Scholes struggled after injury and hasn't been as good as he was last season.

Carrick started off very poorly indeed but once he got his form back has been class.

Anderson showed everyone what he can do but naturally couldnt sustain that level and can't last a full match yet.

Hargreaves had a very difficult start to his United career with injuries and became a bit of a scapegoat himself on these very boards for a while, has had a decent debut season considering.

And Brad you have to remember that Scholes is a club legend and one of the greatest midfield players in United history. Anderson, Carrick and Hargreaves have all been purchased for close to 20million pounds each. That is almost 60million on central midfielders in 2 years and to be honest when i think about it like that it is a miracle that Fletch is still at the club!

But with players naturally drifting in and out of form or picking up injuries i would think United fans (most are) would be delighted to have a player like Fletcher as back up. I mean the game he played against Arsenal after being out for months injured was outstanding and he has never put a foot wrong when played this season and has been an integral part of so many important games for United that it is no wonder Fergie still holds him in such high regard.

If anything i can see Fletch get more games next season and step up once again proving people wrong once again.
