United officials met with Jackson's agent, Ali Barat, to discuss the possibility of a transfer. While no formal agreement has been reached with Chelsea, the meeting is a step towards exploring options for the new season.

In addition to Jackson, Manchester United has also been linked with Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The club is still in talks with Arsenal over another potential signing.

Jackson's situation at Chelsea has become uncertain due to the arrival of new players this summer, including Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
