"Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim could do with more depth at the back, especially with Harry Maguire coming towards the end of his contract, and with Lisandro Martinez's poor injury record. Jacquet has impressed United scouts, according to my sources, though he's also been on the radar of Arsenal for some time, while other Premier League clubs could also come into the conversation. Chelsea, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace could also be in for Jacquet, as well as Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig."
"The talented 20-year-old will also have a pretty low asking price in the region of 30-40m, which shouldn't be an issue for the Red Devils. United scouts have given glowing reports, one source told me. They've noted mature performances, aerial dominance, smart positioning, and calm distribution all the best traits of a modern CB. Figures at Rennes have been described as resigned to losing Jacquet in the near future, and his asking price will surely invite bidders as he could move for between 30-40m."
Manchester United are showing interest in 20-year-old Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet to strengthen defensive depth amid Harry Maguire's contract uncertainty and Lisandro Martinez's injury record. United scouts have praised Jacquet's mature performances, aerial dominance, smart positioning and calm distribution, describing him as a modern centre-back. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig are also monitoring him. Rennes expect to sell and value him around 30–40m, a fee viewed as a bargain in the current market. Arsenal may offer an attractive project but could limit immediate playing opportunities; United have the resources to bid.
