Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson reviled that Darren Fletcher will in action as he will play in the reserves on Monday.

Fletcher who missed the end of last season due to a virus was hailed by his manager. Sir Alex praised the midfielder for recovering from a lot of problems and hailed him as a big match player.

"Darren is back training now," Ferguson said. "He will play for the reserves on Monday. He has put weight back on and is doing great.

"When Darren joined us at 15, he had a lot of problems with his ankles and missed a lot of foundation work at the club.

He had the resolve and perseverance after that to get to where he is, he has worked his socks off. He is a big-game player; he excels in temperament and discipline, obeying instructions to the letter of the law. In big games you need that."
