Darren Fletcher's son, Tyler, has decided to play for Scotland after previously representing England.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old midfielder, who moved from Manchester City to Manchester United's academy in August, has played for both Scotland and England at U16 level since his international debut last year. Tyler seems to be leaning towards a career with Scotland after playing for their U17s against Belarus in a Euros qualifier on Saturday.<\/p>\n

His twin brother Jack has also played for both England and Scotland but didn't play against Belarus. Jack, who was part of the winning England team at the Montaigu Tournament, might also choose to represent Scotland, according to The Mirror.<\/p>\n

However, there's no doubt about their dad Darren's loyalty – the Man Utd legend is a former Scotland captain with 80 caps. The twins were born in Manchester while Darren was playing for United.<\/p>\n

Their dad, now 39, played in 342 games for the Red Devils and won 13 trophies, including five Premier League titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup. Darren, now United's technical director, was thrilled to persuade both Tyler and Jack to join Old Trafford over the summer.<\/p>\n

Who should Tyler and Jack Fletcher represent internationally? Let us know in the comments.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Like Tyler, Jack is a midfielder and also made the switch from the blue to the red side of Manchester. United shelled out a cool \u00a31.25million to bring Tyler and Jack from City to their side.<\/p>\n

"Happy to have signed for Manchester United," Tyler posted on Instagram, adding, "Looking forward to the future." Jack also expressed his excitement about the move, calling it his "next challenge".<\/p>\n

Football bigwigs like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Bardsley, Alex Bruce and Sunderland's Corry Evans, as well as fellow United youngsters Daniel Gore and Shea Lacey, congratulated the twins. "Class mate, well done," Rooney told Tyler.<\/p>\n

TNT is the only place you can watch all the action from the Champions League this year. You can see every game from the group stage right through to the final as Manchester City look to defend their crown as the newest kings of the World's biggest and best football tournament.<\/p>\n

The lads still have plenty of time to decide which country they want to play for, as many footballers switch nations when they reach senior level. Tyler has already had a taste of leadership, having captained Scotland – just like his dad.<\/p>\n

Many England-born players have donned the Scotland jersey at international level, including current stars Che Adams, Angus Gunn and Oli McBurnie. United midfielder Scott McTominay, born in Lancaster, is now one of Scotland's shining stars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I wanted to play for Scotland, and I always have done, since I was a young boy, so it was an incredibly proud moment when he (then Scotland manager Alex McLeish) did call me up," McTominay revealed in 2018 when he got his first call up at 21.<\/p>\n
