Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and assistant Mitchel van der Gaag have been running the rule over the club's youth stars.

The Red Devils are going through a tough period in their season, with games coming in thick and fast.

After a 3-2 win over Aston Villa, United's first team saw youngster Jack Fletcher join in with senior training.

The 16-year-old and his twin brother Tyler Fletcher are sons of United legend Darren Fletcher.

Jack got a chance to mingle with the first team the day after the dramatic win over Villa.

He has not yet got on the field for the first team, but may get his chance in the FA Cup in the coming weeks.
