Darren Fletcher insists Carling Cup success is important for Manchester United Football Club.

The Reds fought back from a goal down to beat Aston Villa in Sunday’s final at Wembley, to lift the trophy which they also won last season against Tottenham Hotspur.

Whilst United will consider their challenge for the Premier League and UEFA Champions League more important this season, Fletcher insists the Carling Cup success was a big win.

“It's a great occasion and I think people speak about getting to cup finals, but the only way you enjoy them it to win," said the Scotland international midfielder.

"I've been in a couple of cup finals that we've lost and it's not the best so I think the joy of not losing in the best thing really, because it means you've enjoyed your day.

"It's important for Manchester United to win these competitions and hopefully it'll kick-start us in the Premier League and the Champions League."
