bosses are now considering other options, with Chelsea star Nicholas Jackson also a player to keep an eye on in the off-season.<\/p>\n<p>According to TEAMtalk, the Senegal international, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, has received huge praise from the staff behind the scenes at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>The report also states that the player is planning to return to Stamford Bridge and turn down a permanent move to the Bundesliga, which could open the door for the Red Devils to sign him.<\/p>\n<p>    What&#8217;s more, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are all in contention to sign the 24-year-old, confirming that competition for his signature will intensify over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2

season, he has already scored six goals and provided 13 assists in 25 appearances, with no player in the senior ranks posting a higher total goal contribution.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that the 31-year-old has been the club&#8217;s most influential player in recent seasons, and Bruno needs to arrive more often at Old Trafford to take some of the pressure off his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>    Signing Jackson would give the club a great attacking option, especially if he can repeat his performances for Chelsea in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old finished the season with 13 goals in 37 appearances and then provided the Red Devils with more of the attacking threat they have been looking for in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>His goalscoring numbers are impressive given the Blues&#8217; struggles in recent seasons, but it is the Senegal international&#8217;s underlying statistics that could make him a huge asset alongside Bruno.<\/p>\n<p>Described as &#8220;unbelievable&#8221; by

final third, with pinpoint passing abilities that bring him out in attacking areas.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, United&#8217;s captain created just 1.3 chances out of 90 in the Premier League last season, with 0.3 of those being defined as big chances, which could mean that United&#8217;s captain was giving away his chances in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>    The Senegalese international also likes to play on the shoulders of the final defender and could make the most of the Portuguese star&#8217;s record of 3.2 times in 90 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that joining Bayern this season was a big mistake, as evidenced by his record of only 5 goals in 22 games played so far.<\/p>\n<p>However, a return to the Premier League could give him a new lease of life to get back into shape, and United could be the perfect fit for the Chelsea man.<\/p>\n<p>If he can move to Old Trafford and form a deadly partnership with Bruno, there is no reason why the club&#8217;s new manager can&#8217;t write a new chapter in the Red Devils&#8217; history in 2026\/27.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \"
