Career

[edit]

Born in Oldham, but brought up in Trafford, Jackson became a season-ticket holder at Manchester United at five years-old. He joined the Manchester United academy and at 15 years-old became the younger player to ever feature for the club's under-23 team. He was part of the United youth side that won the FA Youth Cup in 2022. In October 2022, he signed his first professional contract with the club.[2] He was brought in to train with the first-team Manchester United squad in September 2023, and again prior to their FA Cup semi final against Coventry City in April 2034.[3][4]
