Jacob Devaney

Jacob Devaney of Manchester United was born in Barnsley, England on 11 June 2007 (age 19).

Jacob Devaney, born 11 June 2007 (age 18), is a Republic of Ireland defensive midfielder on the books at Manchester United. His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.

The meaningful senior football in his career so far has come at St Mirren. Across one season, he made 13 league appearances without scoring, which is enough to make Paisley the main reference point in an otherwise early career.

At Manchester United in 2025-26, Devaney has yet to make a league appearance. For now, his profile is that of a young midfielder whose first proper senior exposure came with St Mirren, while his next step remains to be properly established.
