Old Trafford legend’s twin sons combine for two goals as Man United’s Under 21s thrash West Brom

Manchester United’s under-21 side thrashed West Bromwich Albion 5-1 in the Premier League 2 on Friday and there was a familiar name on the scoresheet.

Two of United’s goals were scored by Jack Fletcher, son of Old Trafford legend Darren Fletcher – who won 13 trophies during his 342-game Red Devils career between 2003 and 2015.

Remarkably, both of Jack’s goals were assisted by twin brother Tyler Fletcher.

Proud dad Darren – who played 97 times for West Brom after leaving United in 2015 – watched Friday’s game from the stands at Leigh Sports Village.

Jack and Tyler followed in their father’s footsteps by signing their first professional contracts at United in April last year.

The boys put pen to paper after turning 17, having made the switch across from rivals Man City in the summer of 2023 in a deal worth £1.25million.

At the time, Darren was working as a technical director as part of Erik ten Hag’s backroom staff.

Following Ten Hag’s sacking in October last year, the former Scotland international now holds the role of first-team coach under new boss Ruben Amorim.

Jack and Tyler – who will celebrate their 18th birthdays next week – have previously turned out together for Scotland at youth level.

However, Jack has since switched allegiances to represent England, where he and his twin sibling were born.

Neither player has yet made their senior debut for United, but Jack was an unused sub in Thursday’s 4-1 win over Real Sociedad.
