Key Facts

  • Fletcher represented United more than 200 times during a 12-year career at Old Trafford, during which the dependable midfielder won five Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Champions League among a raft of honours before also serving as a coach and technical director since his retirement in 2020.
  • FLORENTIN AND MATHIAS POGBA Paul's older twin siblings may not have quite enjoyed their younger brother's level of success -- most notably winning the World Cup for France in 2018 -- but are serviceable journeymen who have played in France, Scotland, England and MLS as well as both representing Guinea at international level.
  • LARS AND SVEN BENDER The near-identical utility midfielders came through the ranks together at 1860 Munich as youngsters before parting ways -- Lars to Bayer Leverkusen and Sven to Borussia Dortmund -- only to be reunited again in 2017 when the latter joined his brother at Leverkusen.
  • There's not a lot to split their careers, with both winning multiple Swiss league titles at Basel (four times together), though Philipp has over twice the number of international caps as his brother.
