Finds net for Scotland U21s
Fletcher scored in Scotland U21s' 5-2 win over Azerbaijan U21s, according to the club.
Analysis: Fletcher found the net at international level while continuing to gain experience with Scotland U21s. The midfielder has yet to make a senior appearance for Manchester United this season and has instead been playing with the U21 side. His path to first-team minutes remains crowded, with Youri Tielemans, Kobbie Mainoo, Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba all ahead of him in the midfield hierarchy.
Called up for World Cup
Fletcher has been added to Scotland's World Cup squad as a replacement for the injured Billy Gilmour, the Scottish Football Association announced, with the 19-year-old Manchester United reserve player earning the call-up after making his senior international debut against Curacao.
Analysis: Fletcher's inclusion is a remarkable story for the teenager, who goes from Manchester United's reserve setup to a World Cup squad in one extraordinary step following his debut appearance for Scotland. The young midfielder will now prepare to potentially feature at the biggest tournament in world football, with the Scottish Football Association expressing their delight at welcoming him aboard following what has been a whirlwind few days for the youngster.
