Rooney in particular has surprised his team-mates by demonstrating a maturity and confidence beyond his years.
"He's a confident character is Wayne," added Fletcher. "He has belief in his own ability, as do the players and the manager.
"He has had a great season already and is looking to get 20 goals this season and build on it next season."
Fletcher is also refusing to give up the ghost in the battle to finish second in the Premiership, while United also face bitter rivals
Arsenal in the FA Cup final.
"We are still battling for second place and there is that FA Cup final for the last game of the season," said the United midfielder..
"We have to win some silverware, that is the minimum you expect at this club. It is something all the players and the manager are striving towards."
