Darren Fletcher believes someone
is going to be on the wrong end of a hiding if Manchester United
can start converting the majority of their
chances.
The Red Devils outshot Portsmouth 17-4 in Wednesday's crucial
victory at Old Trafford, but only mustered an early goal from Wayne
Rooney and late effort from Michael Carrick.
While Fletcher acknowledges the important thing for Sir Alex
Ferguson's side was to pick up the points, he is unhappy they
failed to make their dominance count against the Paul Hart's
charges.
However, the Scotland international thinks it is just a matter
of time before United click and really put someone to the sword as
the race for the Premier League title nears its conclusion.
"The three points is the most important, but we have to start
taking chances," he told Sky Sports News.
"I think some team is going to get a hiding from
us if we keep playing like that.
"It's easier said than done. We have to go out there, keep
taking chances and winning matches."
The three-point haul over Pompey sees United usurp Liverpool at
the top of the Premier League and Fletcher believes it is easier
being the front-runner rather than chasing.
"It's always great being top of the league because that means
you're the team to beat," he continued. "It's always difficult
chasing.
"We've got ourselves in a position now where we're top. We don't
play our game in hand for a while so we're three points ahead.
"We're just taking each game as it comes. We're just looking to
Tottenham which is our next match and we'll try and win that."
