Manchester United will make a bid for a former player’s twin boys who are currently at Manchester City’s academy.

According to The Athletic, Manchester United are keen to sign the twin sons of club legend Darren Fletcher.

Jack and Tyler Fletcher, 16, currently play for local rivals Manchester City despite their father’s links to the 20-times league champions

Currently, Fletcher is the technical director at Old Trafford, but his playing career spanned 20 years with the club and worked his way up through the youth ranks to an influential midfield role in the senior team during Sir Sir’s reign Alex Ferguson.

After retiring from Stoke City in 2017, he returned to M16 to kick-start his coaching career and progressed from working with the under-16s to the first team.

The Scotsman could now welcome his two teenagers to Carrington as they consider a move between the two rival clubs.

The Blues have made offers to keep the young prospects, but the pair are believed to be in favor of moving to the red side of town.

United for “introductory offer” for the Fletcher twins

David Ornstein’s report added: “Considered some of the most promising under-16 talent in the UK, Jack and Tyler are part of an era of age-group dominance for City and the hierarchy have made efforts to retain them.

They will remain enrolled as a schoolboy and eligible to pursue professional arrangements when they turn 17 in March 2024.

“The brothers were encouraged to follow their own path, as indicated in February when they met in different countries at Under-16 level: Jack opted for England and Tyler for Scotland.”
