Fletcher: We'll fight for the title until the last second

Darren Fletcher has warned Chelsea that late-goal specialists Manchester United will fight right to the last second of the title race.

United have kept the pressure up on Chelsea going into Sunday's title D-Day thanks to their late shows against Manchester City and Tottenham.

Nani and Ryan Giggs scored in the last nine minutes to grab a priceless win against Spurs, following Paul Scholes' stoppage-time winner at City.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men are masters at snatching games at the death and they have bagged 28 goals in the last ten minutes of matches this season.

Incredibly, 18 of those goals have come in the last five minutes of matches and ten in stoppage time.

Fletcher puts their number of late goals down to their unshakable belief and the Scot says they never give up.

He says the secret is to remain composed when the temptation is to resort to kitchen-sink tactics.

"The manager said before the Spurs game that it might go down to the last ten minutes and it did," said Fletcher. "The important thing is we keep believing in the way we play.

"We don't get desperate. We throw players forward, but the play isn't desperate, it's not just long balls into the box.

"We believe in passing, getting it wide and creating the right opportunities. Sometimes the fans might want the ball forward early, but 50-50 balls aren't good enough. You need to keep playing football and create good scoring chances.

"That's what we did against City and Tottenham and we got our rewards."
