Louis Paul Jackson (born 18 September 2005) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Manchester United.
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 at ten years-old, and at the age of 15, he became the youngest 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.[3][4] Jackson was first named on the bench for the senior team in the semi-finals of the 23/24 FA Cup against Coventry City.[5] Although he was also named on the substitutes bench against Sheffield United, Burnley, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League later that season,[6][7][8] Jackson is yet to make his senior debut.[9]
In February 2025, he joined EFL League Two side Tranmere Rovers on loan for the rest of the 2024/25 season, but never made an appearance for the club.[10]
In August 2025, he joined National League side Solihull Moors on loan for the rest of the 2025/26 season.
International career
Born in Oldham, England, Jackson has represented both England and Scotland at youth level.[11] He was handed his international debut by Omer Riza, the England U16 coach at the time, in an U16 friendly game against Northern Ireland that England won 6–0.[12] Despite that, he has since opted to represent Scotland at U17, U18, and U19 levels. Jackson currently plays for Scotland U19s. He scored his first international goal in a 3–1 win over Andorra U19 in the 2023/2024 UEFA Euro U19 Championship Qualifiers, on the 18th of November, 2023.[13]
Style of play
Jackson has been described as a "calm and composed" defender.[14]
