Darren Fletcher hails David Moyes tactics

Darren Fletcher says that manager David Moyes's tactics were key to Manchester United's win over Swansea City at Old Trafford.

Darren Fletcher has hailed the strategy of manager David Moyes during Manchester United's win over Swansea City on Saturday.

Following a goalless first half at Old Trafford, Moyes shifted Adnan Januzaj to the left flank and Shinji Kagawa into the centre in midfield, which helped United on their way to a 2-0 victory in the Premier League.

"He felt we could get down the left and made a subtle change by moving Adnan out there and Shinji in behind the striker," Fletcher told MUTV of his manager's plan.

"He also told us to raise the tempo, press a little bit quicker in their half and not let them get into their rhythm of passing the ball because they are one of the best passing teams in the league.

"We knew the right back was on a yellow card so that [moving Januzaj to left wing] was an opportunity to get at him because he couldn't give away too many fouls or else he would run the risk of getting a red card."

Fletcher has also insisted that the team are "fully behind" Moyes after a tough start to his United career.
