As Sun Sport can report, Darren Fletcher’s son Jack has “wowed” Erik TEN HAG.
The Dutch boss of United put the 16-year-old midfielder with the first team to train with them before their game against Galatasaray.
And people who work at the club say Ten Hag wants to “speed up” Fletcher’s progress.
“Erik Ten Hag has been keeping a close eye on Jack for a few months now and has been really impressed,” our source said. He gave him the chance to train with the first team last week because he thinks he has a lot of promise.
“Ten Hag is now working with his team to make a plan to help Jack grow and move forward more quickly.
He is expected to go on loan next season, but Erik thinks he has a great future at United in the long run. He is impressed by his intelligence and attitude, and he believes that he is the newest and most talented player to join United.
The 16-year-old was the only player in the group under the age of 18. He joined United earlier this year from Manchester City, a rival team.
Jack joined with his twin brother Tyler. Both of them are the sons of Darren, who is the technical head at United.
Jack wasn’t chosen to go to Istanbul with the group, but he will be happy to have been chosen to train with the first team.
It was an amazing first game for Kobbie Mainoo in the Premier League for United against Everton on Sunday. He was 18 years old.
Also, 19-year-old Alejandro Garnacho scored a beautiful overhead kick at Goodison Park. He also came up through United’s school.
Meanwhile, Sun Online can tell that Ten Hag is still sure that United can have a “brilliant season,” even though their chances of making it to Europe are still uncertain.
Our source also said, “Spirits are still high.” The last few games for United have been good, and they still believe they can get out of the group and have a great season.
“New players will also join in January, which will add a lot of strength to the team and the club.”
