Club career
Fletcher, and his twin brother Tyler, spent nine years as part of the academy at Manchester City prior to signing for Manchester United for a combined fee of £1.25 million in July 2023.[4][5] In November 2023, Fletcher was invited to train with the Manchester United first-team squad.[6] He signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2024, shortly after his 17th birthday.[7] In August 2024, Fletcher scored twice, including a long-range volley in a 3–2 EFL Trophy victory against Barnsley for the Manchester United under-21 side.[8][9][10] He was named in a first-team matchday squad for the first time on 19 October 2024, for a Premier League match against Brentford.[11]
On 21 December 2025, Fletcher made his debut for Manchester United as a 76th-minute substitute in a 2–1 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League.[12] With his brother Tyler also making his debut for the club that season, it marked the first time that two twins and their father had all played in the English top flight.[13]
On 4 March 2026, Fletcher was given a six-match suspension and fined £1,500 for calling an opponent a "gay boy" while playing in Manchester United U21's 5-2 loss against Barnsley's first team in the EFL Trophy the previous 21 October.[14][15][16]
International career
Fletcher has played youth international football for Scotland at under-16 level and England at under-15, under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.[17][18]
In April 2022, Fletcher played international football for England at under-15 level.[19] Whilst he chose to represent the nation he was born in, his twin brother Tyler represented Scotland, qualifying through their father Darren.[20] In 2022, Fletcher accepted a call-up to the Scotland under-16 team and played in three games. His twin brother was also in this squad, thus he has both played with and against his brother at international level. He captained the team against Wales.
In February 2023, Fletcher started for England under-16 against Scotland, with his brother playing on the opposing side.[21]
In November 2023, Fletcher scored his first goal for England under-17 in an 8–0 win over Faroe Islands.[22] He was included in England's squad for the 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and started in their quarter-final elimination against Italy.[23]
On 4 September 2024, Fletcher made his England under-18 debut during a 2–2 draw with Portugal at the Lafarge Foot Avenir.[24]
Fletcher made his England under-19 debut on 11 October 2025, during a 4–1 win over Belgium in Marbella.[25] The following month saw Fletcher score his first goal at this age level during a qualifying game against Scotland U19.[26]
Personal life
He is the son of Scottish former international footballer and current Manchester United Under 18s manager, Darren Fletcher, and twin brother of fellow Manchester United youth footballer Tyler Fletcher.[27]
