"Manchester United could reportedly be ready to make a move for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet this January if other clubs also step up their interest. Although the Red Devils have Jacquet on their radar, the current feeling is that their priority would be to bring him in in the summer, rather than in the middle of the season. However, as recently reported, Arsenal are also interested in Jacquet, and if other clubs decide to move early, that could spark some action from Man Utd."
"Jacquet is becoming widely regarded as one of the best young defensive talents in Europe right now, so it's no surprise to see big clubs circling for his signature. The 20-year-old might well benefit from more experience in Ligue 1 for a bit longer, but it's also easy to see him having an immediate impact, especially at United. The Gunners also like to ensure they have plenty of depth at the back, though, so that could be one to watch, and it would also surely be a project that would tempt him."
Manchester United are monitoring Stade Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet but prefer a summer transfer unless other clubs trigger an earlier move. Arsenal are also tracking Jacquet, creating potential competition for his signature. The 20-year-old is increasingly regarded among Europe's best young defensive talents. Continued Ligue 1 experience could aid his development, yet Jacquet could provide an immediate defensive upgrade, particularly for United. Arsenal value defensive depth, making the defender an attractive long-term project. Renewed interest or early bids from rival clubs could prompt Manchester United to accelerate transfer plans and pursue Jacquet during the January window.
