In Novembr 2012, Jesse was loaned to ‘Leicester’ for a month. In the following few years, his average performance made him anxious, and he faced the danger of being loaned to other teams. He was determined to make it to ‘Manchester United’s first team, and in 2015, he was finally included in the club’s senior team. In April 2017, ‘Manchester United’ offered Jesse a contract for four years with an open window to extend it for another year.
