Manchester United legend's twin sons achieve unusual feat during international break

Manchester United have a pair of twins playing for their academy teams who currently represent different countries internationally

The twin sons of former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher each captained the youth teams of England and Scotland during the March international break.

Jack was the England under-18s captain during their 2-2 stalemate with the Czech Republic in Portugal. Tyler, meanwhile, captained Scotland under-19s in a 4-1 defeat to Poland in Spain.

Born in Manchester on 19 March 2006, the twins can play for the Three Lions or in front of the Tartan Army due to Darren. They represented each country at the under-16s level before continuing with their current nations.

During that time, they did play against each other in midfield during a friendly in February 2023 and a Fletcher was on the scoresheet. However, that was Luca Fletcher, who is not related to them and now plays for Manchester City, but Jack assisted that second goal in a 3-0 win for England.

Also involved in that team was Chido Obi-Martin before he switched to playing for Denmark. Harry Amass, Jayce Fitzgerald and Shea Lacey - who opened the scoring - were other current United players involved.

But at that time, the Fletcher twins were at Man City before making a £1.25million move to United six months later. They were then club teammates with Femi Fapetu, Kian Noble, Leke Drake, Oliver Tevenan and Stephen Mfuni.

Less than two years on, Jack has made the first-team squad seven times this season and is a regular for the under-21s, scoring six goals and assisting another half-a-dozen across 15 appearances.

Tyler is equally excelling, scoring twice but adding ten assists over 25 games. As reflected by those numbers, Jack primarily plays as a more advanced midfielder, while Tyler plays deeper and, occasionally, the deepest player in the middle.

They have played together eight times over the last two seasons, and the last time they did so earlier this month, Tyler set Jack up for two goals.
