Jack Fletcher becomes second son of Man Utd first-teamer to play for Reds

There have been a number of interesting side-notes, in this regard.

Charlie Savage played for the United first team but his father Robbie did not, despite being part of the fabled Class of ’92 youth team.

Sir Alex and Darren Ferguson, Wilf and Paul McGuinness and Jim and Neil Ryan have all had playing and coaching connections at the club.

Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s daughter Karna played for United Women in an FA Cup tie against Bridgwater United in 2022.

Congratulations to the Fletcher family on the wonderful achievement.
