Jackson completed a change of £ 32 million to Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023 and has since achieved 30 goals and 12 templates in 81 appearances.

However, there is a conviction that the 24-year-old does not offer enough firepower after having only scored ten goals from the Premier League last season.

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth says that United is among the clubs who keep an eye on the striker and his future in Chelsea.

However, the turnover should together with a contract for Brentford winger Bryan Mbumo in the middle of her opening offer of £ 55 million.

Jackson also has a long-term admirer in the Aston Villa boss Unai Emery.

The couple worked together in Villarreal, whereby the striker was 27 times under the Spaniard in two seasons.

Jackson had a strong start to his second season in Chelsea with nine goals and three templates in the league before the festive time.

He then missed her last two games of the campaign when he had shown a straight red card in her 2-0 defeat in Newcastle.

But Jackson resigned against Real Betis in the 4-1 final victory by scoring her second goal of the night.

Another red card soon followed, this time against Flamengo at the Club World Championship, just four minutes after the recording.

Chelsea won the tournament by defeating 3-0 with 3-0 against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.

Jackson could not be seen in the final, in which his new striker Pedro achieved her third place at Cole Palmer’s assist.

Delap was also involved as one of her four substitutes, while Marc Guiu stayed on the bench.

The co-owner of Chelsea, Todd Boehly, spoke exclusively with talk sport and praised the efforts of everyone for their club world champion victory.

“Well, we couldn’t have wished ourselves a better result for our boys who did such a good job and trained so hard, really came together in America under Enzo’s leadership and his instruction,” said Boehly.

“Nobody gave us the chance to beat PSG, and the boys really have thrive and grew away. They were something very special when they come together in the past few weeks.
