Manchester United icon Darren Fletcher has a great reason to be proud this week.
His 18-year-old twin sons, Jack and Tyler, both served as captains for their national teams during the recent international matches.
Darren Fletcher, a former Manchester United star who played 80 times for Scotland and captained his country 16 times, initially saw both his sons choose to represent England.
However, Tyler decided to switch allegiances in October 2023 and follow in his father`s footsteps by playing for Scotland.
This has resulted in the unique situation where both Tyler and Jack, despite being twins, captained different national teams during the international break.
Tyler wore the captain`s armband for Scotland Under-19s in their match against Poland on March 22, which they unfortunately lost 4-1.
Jack had a more positive experience two days earlier, on March 20.
He captained the England Under-18 team to a 2-2 draw against Czechia.
Adding to their achievements, just days before these international games, Jack scored twice for Manchester United Under-21s in a 5-1 victory over West Brom, with both goals assisted by Tyler.
The twins were recruited by Manchester United from Manchester City`s youth academy.
Both brothers are showing considerable potential at the youth level.
