Darren Fletcher followed Erik ten Hag orders for Manchester United Legends vs Liverpool FC
For most of the 'legends' on show at Anfield on Saturday, it was a chance to relive memories, to put on the Manchester United or Liverpool kits one more time and reminisce about their years at their respective clubs.
But while most players were back in the bosom of once familiar dressing rooms, Darren Fletcher was wearing the crest of the club he still represents. The Scot is still a very visible figure at Old Trafford as technical director and if some of the other players involved in this charity fixture had grown a sense of detachment from their former clubs, Fletcher certainly hasn't.
The Scot was one of the youngest players on the pitch at 38 and certainly one of the sharpest. His exact role has often been questioned but maybe the time he's spent on the training pitches at Carrington was to prepare him for this. Friendly or not, no United employee wants to be on the losing side at Anfield.
Lisandro Martinez hits back at Manchester United critics as he opens up on move from Ajax
Lisandro Martinez has hit back at those who criticised his early performances at Manchester United.
Martinez was handed his first international call-up since joining United this month and he played the full 90 minutes in the early hours of Saturday morning as Argentina beat Honduras 3-0. Lautaro Martinez and a Lionel Messi brace ensured it was a comfortable outing for the Reds defender.
It has not been all plain sailing for Martinez since he arrived from Ajax in the summer, with many pundits claiming the centre-back was too short to operate in the Premier League after a couple of tough early showings against Brighton and Brentford. However, the 24-year-old has recovered well and even won United's Player of the Month award for August.
