Exciting Young Talent Joins United Squad…
Manchester United have rolled out the red carpet for 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, adding him to the squad for the big Premier League clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford. This isn’t your average freshman; he’s like a football prodigy that was bitten by a radioactive midfield spider! As the son of United legend Darren Fletcher, the young midfielder has already made appearances on the US pre-season tour, and although he hasn’t played in a competitive first-team match yet, he was a frequent but patient benchwarmer last season.
Fletcher, alongside his brother Tyler, crossed the great rivalry chasm between Manchester City and United this summer for a tidy £1.25 million fee. Imagine getting siblings to agree on anything for that price! With the current shortage of midfielders at United, it’s no wonder they’re eyeing Brighton’s Carlos Baleba to beef up the squad.
