"The 19-year-old academy duo featured as part of Ruben Amorim's final few matches in charge of United prior to his dismissal as head coach on Monday. Former United midfielder and under-18s head coach Darren was promoted to interim head coach in Amorim's place and will take charge of United's trip to Burnley on Wednesday. While Tyler has made the bench in each of United's last three games, Jack was used by Amorim in United's last three matches of 2025 as a substitute."
"The brothers are central midfielders. While both can play more defensively, Jack has also played as a winger on the right side. The duo are capped internationally. Although they both started with England's under-16s, Tyler switched nationalities to Scotland - the nation his father represented. Tyler and Jack played against each other in November 2025 during a Under-19s European Championship qualifier between Scotland and England. In July 2023, the pair signed for United from direct rivals Manchester City for a reported combined fee of 1.25m."
Darren Fletcher's twin sons, Jack and Tyler, are 19-year-old central midfielders at Manchester United who have recently been involved with the first team. Tyler has been named on the bench in United's last three matches, while Jack made substitute appearances in the final three matches of 2025. Both can play in defensive roles; Jack has also played as a right winger and at full-back and is viewed as a more progressive passer who plays higher up the pitch. Both are core members of the under-21 squad, which has seven wins and one defeat from eight Premier League 2 games. The brothers joined United from Manchester City in July 2023 for a reported combined fee of 1.25m. Tyler switched international allegiance to Scotland and faced Jack in an under-19 European qualifier in November 2025.
