Jacquet: Manchester United Future?

A true phenomenon of the first half of the season at Stade Rennais, young central defender Jérémy Jacquet appeals to many European big names. Among them, Manchester United, who are following him closely with a view to a potential transfer next summer.

This 2025-2026 season is clearly one of revelation for Jérémy Jacquet (20 years old) in the eyes of Europe. Already considered very promising during his time at Clermont, the young central defender trained at Stade Rennais returned to his basics during the 2025 winter transfer window. Now a permanent player in Habib Beye’s training (he has an average playing time of 89 minutes in 15 Ligue 1 matches played this season), it is only natural that he arouses a lot of desire. Cited in rumors expressing interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal or Liverpool, Jérémy Jacquet has also caught the eye of Manchester United.

MU is attracted by Jérémy Jacquet

Indeed, according to information from Sky Sports, the Red Devils are following Jérémy Jacquet very closely and the evolution of his progress with Stade Rennais. The Bondynois is a favorite target of the Old Trafford resident who believes he needs reinforcements at the central defender position. The prospect of associating him with Leny Yoro, also French and born in 2005, is particularly attractive for the Mancunian management who view such an investment favorably.

However, Rennes supporters do not panic: Jacquet is not expected to leave Brittany during the winter transfer window which has just opened. Everything suggests today that if there is a departure, it will happen at the end of the current season, when the Rennes management will have greater room to maneuver to negotiate his sale and replace him. As a reminder, Jérémy Jacquet is valued at 20 million euros by Transfermarkt, compared to 5 million euros just 9 months ago. Proof, if any were needed, that its progress is not trivial and the interests of big clubs are not surprising.
