Hopefully, Darren Fletcher had said, his team would look like a Manchester United side.
They did. There was much to recognise from the brand of United Fletcher knew in his playing days. A side with a back four and spirit mounted a comeback.

There was a soundtrack rooted firmly in history, too, celebrating United’s old heroes.
