Many will be hoping they can emulate father Darren, who starred for the Manchester outfit.
The Scot spent 12 years at Old Trafford between 2003 and 2015 after graduating from the academy.
Fletcher made 223 appearances for the club in the Premier League, scoring 18 goals.
He won the league on five occasions, as well as the FA Cup, League Cup, and Champions League.
Tyler and Jack may be team-mates on a domestic level, but they are rivals on the international stage.
Jack is currently representing England while Tyler switched allegiance back to Scotland.
The duo were poached from rivals Man City in a controversial switch last year.
The deal to bring them to Man United from their Manchester rivals is believed to have been a record for their age group.
