Report: Phil Jones heading for Manchester United exit

Phil Jones will reportedly be allowed to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window.

Man United beat off a host of competition to bring Jones to Old Trafford in 2011, and the centre-back made 41 appearances for the Red Devils during his first season at the club.

The England international was also a regular between 2012 and 2014, but made only 13 appearances in all competitions last term after struggling to overcome a number of injury problems.

The 24-year-old is once again on the sidelines with a knee ligament problem, and according to The Sun, Man United will allow the defender to leave for £10m in January, which has alerted both Arsenal and Liverpool.

In 2013, then Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson famously said that Jones 'could be Manchester United's best ever player'.
