Manchester United defender Phil Jones's potential move to Burnley could fall through if the proposed takeover at Turf Moor goes through, according to a report.

Out-of-favour Manchester United defender Phil Jones is reportedly worried that a potential move to Burnley may not come to fruition due to the possible takeover at Turf Moor.

The former Blackburn Rovers man has had his fair share of injury problems but has fallen down the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was recently left out of United's Premier League and Champions League squads.

As a result, the 28-year-old has been tipped to head for the exit door at Old Trafford, with Burnley manager Sean Dyche believed to be interested as he faces an uphill battle to keep hold of James Tarkowski.

However, according to the Daily Star, a proposed £200m takeover of Burnley would mean that the £40m-rated Tarkowski, who is garnering significant interest from West Ham United, would not need to be sold.

The report therefore suggests that Burnley will not move for Jones and the Englishman could be set to ply his trade in the Championship, with Derby County and Middlesbrough both keeping a close eye on developments.

Jones still has just under three years left to run on his current deal at Old Trafford.
