Man United 'Prepared To Accept' Deal For Phil Jones As Player Needs To Give 'Green Light' For January Move

Jones has experienced a lengthy spell on the sideline due to a long-term knee problem and made his sensational return for United earlier this month.

His previous United appearance before the Wolves match was in the Red Devils’ 6-0 thumping of Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup in 2020.

According to reports in France, Bordeaux are interested in landing Jones on a loan deal.

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano claims that United are ‘prepared to accept’ the loan proposal from the Ligue 1 club.

And he added that the ball is now in Jones’ court for the move to happen, with ‘confident’ Bordeaux not paying a loan fee for the United defender.

“Manchester United are prepared to accept Bordeaux loan proposal for Phil Jones. It’s now up to the player for [the] final ‘green light’ to complete the deal soon,” Romano tweeted.

“Bordeaux are confident as they’re not paying any loan fee.”

Jones hasn’t featured for United since his return against Wolves, with the former Blackburn Rovers man facing tough competition for a place in the starting XI.

Jones, who has made 225 appearances for the Red Devils, has been at United for over a decade and has lifted a Premier League title, a Europa League and an FA Cup.
