Scotland, England battle for twin sons of Man Utd chief Darren Fletcher

Manchester United chief Darren Fletcher's twin sons Tyler and Jack are wanted by England and Scotland.

The talented 15-year-olds are in Manchester City's academy and have already been selected for their dad's homeland.

However, England have also asked them to train and take a look at the FA set-up as they qualify because they were born south of the border, says The Sun.

The midfielders have plenty of time to make a decision, as it is possible to switch allegiances before making a competitive senior debut.

Scotland named the duo in their last Under-16s squad and it would be a huge loss with dad Darren being a former skipper.

He played 80 times for his country, making him the third-most capped Scot behind Sir Kenny Dalglish (102) and Jim Leighton (91).
