Manchester United are monitoring Stade Rennais defender Jérémy Jacquet as part of their recruitment plans for the 2026 transfer window. The Sun reported that a scout from the club was present for Rennes' 1–0 victory against Paris FC on November 7, and that the 20-year-old and his teammate Mohamed Meite were the main focus of the visit. Last summer, Jacquet was the subject of strong interest from Arsenal and Crystal Palace before he signed a contract extension through 2029. This new deal puts Rennes in a strong negotiating position, and any potential approach from United would likely command a substantial fee. United's scouting department reportedly considers Jacquet a long-term defensive investment, particularly with the uncertainty over Harry Maguire's future.
