Phil Jones will be allowed to leave Manchester United in January.
The 28-year old is very much surplus to requirements under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and has bene left out of both their Champions League and Premier League squads.
He has not featured at all for the club this season, and now they are ready to cut their ties with the 28-year-old.
Jones was signed from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and is now the longest-serving player at the club, having made 224 appearances in all competitions.
He has won the Premier League and FA Cup with them, as well as the Europa League three years ago.
Now it is reported that United will listen to offers of £20 million for him, with his price tag justified by the fact that he is still under contract until 2023.
He has been linked with Fulham among others, but United may need to drop their valuation to get him off their books.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
