Tyler Fletcher, son of Darren Fletcher, switches international allegiance from England to Scotland

Manchester United youngster Tyler Fletcher has reportedly switched his international allegiance back from England to Scotland.

Fletcher and his twin brother Jack Fletcher moved to United from Manchester City’s academy in the summer.

It’s believed that their father Darren Fletcher, who is a former United midfielder and the club’s current technical director, was behind the move that saw the twins complete a switch from the Etihad to Old Trafford.

Tyler, who was born in Manchester, is eligible to line up for both Scotland and England.

According to The Daily Mail, it seems like the talented 16-year-old star has made the decision to represent the country his five-time Premier League-winning father played for.

Tyler made his international bow for Scotland under-16s in September 2022 but featured for the Three Lions just two months later.

Earlier in February, he played for Scotland once again and came up against his brother Jack, who was in England colours during an under-16 clash in Cyprus.

Tyler made a change again later in April and played alongside Jack as England won the Montaigu Tournament.

The Mail adds, “However, Tyler has returned to Scotland duty – for the time being at least – as he played against Belarus in an Under-17 European Championship qualifier in Turkey on Saturday. He started in midfield as Belarus won the game 3-1.”

Tyler played for the Red Devils against Derby County in the Under-18 Premier League on October 7th.

His brother also played a part against Derby as their side came from behind to defeat the opposition at Carrington.

During his playing days, Darren Fletcher won 80 caps for Scotland.
