The Senegalese forward has scored 30 goals across two seasons with Chelsea but could face an uncertain future this summer.
With Chelsea eyeing Liam Delap and Hugo Ekitike to bolster their attack, Jackson’s place in the squad is now under threat.
While the Blues aren’t actively pushing Jackson out, he may become available for the right offer, likely around £32 million.
United are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, as they seek to add firepower following an underwhelming Premier League campaign.
Erik ten Hag’s side lacked consistent goalscoring in 2024/25 and view Jackson’s pace and movement as a good fit.
Aston Villa, Atlético Madrid, and Inter Milan are also interested, suggesting a potential bidding war could be on the horizon, reports 3 added minutes.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are reshaping their frontline and are not ruling out major departures to meet financial regulations.
Jackson himself isn’t believed to be angling for a move, but may consider it if he slips down the pecking order.
The transfer saga is expected to develop quickly, especially as United accelerate plans for their summer rebuild.
