Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has praised the form of striker Steven Fletcher, and hopes the Scotland international can keep his goalscoring run going.<\/p>\n
Fletcher’s goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend was his third in two matches, taking his tally in the Premier League to six for the season.<\/p>\n
“No,” McCarthy told the Express & Star when asked if he expected Fletcher to attract interest in the January transfer window. “If I say yes, then I\u2019ve suddenly put him up for sale, haven\u2019t I?<\/p>\n
“So, categorically, no. All Fletcher can do is play and score, for his career here, and his Scotland career. He\u2019s still only a young man, so all he can do is keep playing well and scoring.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s a Premier League player scoring goals so he\u2019s going to get headlines. Players always do when they\u2019re scoring goals.”<\/p>\n
McCarthy added that he was pleased to see Fletcher add more goals to an all-round game he had already been impressed with.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a great feeling as a footballer to be playing well,” he said. “He\u2019s a very good player \u2013 he\u2019s excellent.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s his all-round game, but as with all strikers, it\u2019s his goals that top his performances off.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he wants to score \u2013 he loves scoring.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
