England and Scotland ready to do battle to persuade Darren Fletcher’s twin sons Tyler and Jack to represent them

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.

The midfielders have a decision to make although they have time to commit as it is possible to switch allegiances before making a competitive senior debut. 

Scotland named the duo in their last Under-16s squad but they can swap like other kids before them.

However this would be a huge loss for Scotland as dad Darren was a Tartan Army skipper.

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

Darren is now technical director at United while his lads are at City.

Other ex-Scotland players have seen their sons play for England’s age-group teams too.

Bryan Gunn and David Weir are among those whose boys, Angus and Jensen, opted to pick the Three Lions.
