Manchester United have had their fair share of brother combinations over the years.

Gary and Phil Neville came through the ranks to achieve greatness at United, while other notable siblings to represent the club at first-team level include Rafael and Fabio da Silva, Michael and Will Keane and Adam and Richard Eckersley.

They also recently poached Darren Fletcher's twin sons, Tyler and Jack, from rivals Manchester City.

But incredibly, the club also have three brothers in their youth system in Amir, Gazir and Muhammad Ibragimov.

The Russian trio also have another brother who continues the sporting excellence.

Lightweight Ibragimov is an undefeated MMA fighter with 13 wins at amateur and professional level.

Nicknamed 'The Mauler', he fights out of the Manchester Top Team.

Amir, tied to the club until he is 17, is the eldest of the three footballers and the one with the most hype surrounding him.

According to the Daily Mail, the 15-year-old has trained with Erik ten Hag's first-team and even played for both the Under 16's and Under 18's in the same day in consecutive wins over Liverpool back in January.

He scored the winner before playing a few years up in a 3-2 win for the 18's.

Amir, from the Dagestan region of Russia, was previously with the Sheffield United academy and has captained United at two different age groups.

Capped by England at Under 15's level and already with an Adidas boot deal, he's been compared to United's record scorer Wayne Rooney by coach Raducio King, who spoke glowingly about him.

As per the Manchester Evening News, he said: "His never-give-in mentality is what impresses me the most - if you need someone to sprint for you in the last seconds to clear the ball because there's a counter-attack, he'd be your kid.

"There aren't many I've seen that can run like him. I could see him playing as a No 10, like a Wayne Rooney role, driving forward, switching balls, tackling, attacking, you name it.

"We don't want Amir to lose his flair or creativity and as a technical coach of his, he's got all the tools in his toolbox to succeed.”

His two younger brothers were plying their trade at City before moving across and the possibility of all three playing together would be stepping in uncharted territory.
