Man United's Fletcher earns Scotland Under-21 call

"The 18-year-old has been selected by Scot Gemmill for the European Championship qualifiers against Czech Republic and Portugal. Fletcher made his first-team debut for United as a late substitute in last month's league victory over Tottenham and has been on the first team bench a further nine times since Boxing Day."

"Manchester-born Fletcher represented England at under-16 level but has since gone on to play for Scotland at under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels. His twin Jack, also a midfielder with United, played briefly for Scotland at Under-16 level but has been with England youth sides since."

"In July 2023, the pair signed for United from direct rivals Manchester City for a reported combined fee of 1.25m. Fletcher senior, capped 80 times, is the under-18 coach at Old Trafford and had a two-game stint as caretaker head coach between the departure of Ruben Amorim and the interim appointment of Michael Carrick."

Tyler Fletcher, an 18-year-old Manchester United midfielder and son of former Scotland captain Darren Fletcher, has been selected for Scotland's Under-21 squad by manager Scot Gemmill for upcoming European Championship qualifiers. Fletcher recently made his first-team debut for United as a substitute in a league victory over Tottenham and has appeared on the bench multiple times since Boxing Day. Born in Manchester, he initially represented England at under-16 level before switching to Scotland's youth system, playing at under-16, under-17, and under-19 levels. His twin brother Jack, also a United midfielder, has represented both Scotland and England at youth levels. The brothers previously faced each other in a November Under-19s European Championship qualifier. Both signed for United from Manchester City in July 2023 for a combined fee of 1.25 million pounds.
