"You can't ask them to go easier [on us] because they're passionate guys, they have a right to their opinion and they're really good," he said. They're good to listen to. Fletcher says a lack of spare time since stepping in means he has not had chance to speak to his squad individually. Fletcher has met with Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko this week, having spoken to goalkeeper Senne Lammens last week. Bryan Mbeumo, United's other major summer signing, has not had chance to speak to Fletcher as he is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon.
