Manchester United is now paying close attention to the 17-year-old midfielder Jorthy Mokio in the Ajax team, which needs to face the transfer dispute between Newcastle United and Frankfurt. Two players in the Rennes team, Jérémy Jacquet and Mohamed Meïté, are being followed by Manchester United.

According to Sacha Tavolieri of Sky Sports Switzerland, Ajax player Jorthy Mokio, who has performed well, has received continued attention from Manchester United and Newcastle United in the Premier League and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The 17-year-old Mochio's contract with Ajax expires in 2027, but negotiations for a new contract extension have reached an impasse, and it is reported that Mochio himself is seeking the next new challenge in his career. The defensive midfielder, who made his debut for the Belgian national team in March, can also operate as a centre-back or left-back, making him a valuable option in the midfield.

According to the latest news reported by the British local media "The Sun", Manchester United is also paying close attention to two players in the Rennes team, Jeremy Jacques and Mete. According to reports, during Rennes' 1-0 victory over Paris FC on November 7, a Manchester United scout was spotted by a fan. It is reported that the scout was there to watch 20-year-old defender Jacquette and 18-year-old forward Met. Jacquet has played every minute on behalf of Rennes so far this season, while Met is considered more like a young player with potential. Arsenal were closely linked with Crystal Palace and Jacquet's transfer rumors last summer, and he will extend his contract with Rennes until 2029.
