Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has laughed off Arsenal rival Arsene Wenger's criticism of Darren Fletcher last week.
“I think he [Wenger] was a bit agitated right from the start,” the United manager said. “He knew it was a big game for them. It was a bigger game for Arsenal than it was for United because the last two or three seasons had been disappointing for them.
“Fletcher was fantastic. I said right after the game that, for me, he was the star man. Wayne Rooney, who got the man of the match [award], said it should have gone to Fletcher and we all agreed.
“Darren is one of the most honest and fair players in the game. Because he wins the ball and he does it fairly, maybe that has annoyed him [Wenger].”
