Overview
- Reports on November 27–28 indicate Manchester United are prepared to pay about €30–40m (£26–35m) for the Rennes centre-back.
- Rennes are described as resigned to a sale despite Jacquet being contracted until 2029.
- United scouts have reportedly delivered glowing assessments of his aerial dominance, positioning and distribution.
- The 20-year-old is viewed at Old Trafford as a long-term defensive addition as Harry Maguire’s contract winds down and injuries have thinned options.
- Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig are also credited with interest, with no official bid or agreement reported and January or summer moves both under consideration.
