Manchester United open talks with Man City over deal to sign Darren Fletcher's twin sons
16.06.2023 - 20:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United have begun talks with Manchester City in an attempt to sign the twin sons of the club's technical director Darren Fletcher.
Jack and Tyler Fletcher have come through the ranks at City despite their father's illustrious playing career at Old Trafford and his prominent role behind the scenes in recent years.
The 16-year-olds have enjoyed plenty of success in the academy at the Etihad, but they now look likely to cross the divide in Manchester, with United opening preliminary talks with City over a double deal, although no bid has been tabled so far. The duo have been monitored by United for a number of years before discussions began over a deal last week.
It is understood Fletcher has played no role for United in talks over a potential deal. The siblings, who are both midfielders, are still on schoolboy terms at City having not signed scholarships, so they are free to meet with prospective new clubs. They don't turn 17 until next March, at which point they will be able to sign professional deals.

Although no bid has been lodged so far, there is a desire for a fee to be agreed between the rival clubs, rather than going to a tribunal process. The pair are highly rated at City.
Despite the connection with Fletcher's key role behind the scenes at Old Trafford, sources close to the deal insist that it is only driven by the fact United feel the boys have the potential to become first-team players at the club.
There is also an insistence that the move isn't motivated by a desire to stop the children of former United players having youngsters at City, with Jack and Tyler having been at the club for a number of years already.
