Manchester United welcomed the next generation of the Fletcher family dynasty as Darren Fletcher's twin sons, Jack and Tyler, signed their first professional contracts with the club. Darren Fletcher, a former United player with over 200 appearances and a decorated career, saw his sons join the club last summer after they moved from Manchester City. Jack has participated in first-team training sessions under manager Erik ten Hag, while Tyler has excelled in the youth team.
The 17-year-old twins shared their pride on Instagram after signing their pro terms with United. If they both make it to the first team, they will not be the first twins to play at Old Trafford. Fabio and Rafael, Brazilian full-backs, played together at United before pursuing separate paths in France and Brazil.
Other notable footballing twins include the De Boer brothers, who enjoyed immense success playing for clubs like Ajax and Barcelona. The Van de Kerkhof twins represented the Netherlands and played in multiple World Cups. The Altintop twins, Hamit and Halil, had decent careers with Turkey and Schalke.
On the women's side, Megan Rapinoe, a two-time World Cup winner, has a twin sister, Rachael, who also played professional football. The Holdsworth brothers started at Watford before pursuing separate careers and briefly reuniting at Bolton.
These footballing twins showcase the unique bond and talent that runs in their families, adding an intriguing dimension to the beautiful game. The Fletcher twins' journey at Manchester United promises to be an exciting chapter in the club's storied history.
