The Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United officially confirmed that new star Jack Fletcher is preparing for the Premier League opening match against Arsenal with the first team.

The Red Devils youth training is the son of Manchester United's U18 coach and former midfielder star Darren Fletcher. He just finished his preseason trip to the United States and made a substitute in the New Jersey Metropolitan Stadium 2-1 victory over West Ham. He also made a record of substitute appearances in the previous warm-up match against Leeds United.

18-year-old Jack Fletcher scored 4 goals in nine appearances in the Premier League U21 last season. Although he has not yet made his official first team debut, he has been on the bench seven times last season. In the summer window of 2023, he and his twin brother Taylor transferred from his arch-rival Manchester City to Manchester United for a total transfer fee of 1.25 million pounds.

Faced with the upcoming Premier League opening game, Manchester United's midfield configuration is very tight. The club's official website shows that only six midfielders are listed in the first team. With Dan Gore loaned Rotherham this summer, Toby Collier is about to leave the team, and this position is even thinner. Coach Amorin specifically sets Mum as a No. 10 player, meaning that Casemiro, Ugat, Menu and Bruno Fernandez form the main framework of the game.

Manchester United is eager to strengthen the midfield before the transfer window is closed on September 1, and has expressed interest in Brighton's new star Baleba.
