Who is Jeremy Doku
Doku is a right-footed winger capable of playing on both flanks but deployed mainly on the right wing.
He is a Belgian-Ghanaian but represents the Red Devils internationally, racking up 14 caps while scoring two goals.
He only scored eight goals in all competitions for Rennes last season, including four assists, but according to FbRef, he is among the top 1% of players in his position for successful take-ons and progressive carries, traits Pep Guardiola side must have sought out in his signing.
