Manchester United defender Phil Jones has been out of action for the past few years. However, according to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Phil Jones has finally got a suitor for in Ligue 1 side, Bordeaux.
The story of Phil Jones' career at Manchester United is a fascinating one. It was legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson who signed Jones from Blackburn Rovers back in 2011 for £17m.
Sir Alex was heavily impressed with Jones' leadership quality and his technique during his time at Blackburn Rovers. Ferguson had high expectations for the England international as he even publicly stated that Jones could be the best ever player for the club.

He had said in 2013:
"Jones, arguably the way he is looking, could be our best ever player. I think Jones may be one of the best players we have ever had, not matter where we play him."
Well those words have now come back to bite Ferguson as his predictions were far from reality. In his 11 year career with the Red Devils, Phil Jones has only made 225 appearances for his club.
Disappointingly, Jones has missed 205 games for United due to a series of injuries he has suffered since joining the Red Devils in 2011.
Phil Jones recently returned to full fitness after being sidelined out of the game for more than a year. After impressing Interim manager Ralf Rangnick in recent training sessions, the German coach started him next to Raphael Varane against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Even though Jones put out a solid display against Wolves, he wasn't able to help the team win the match as they lost 1-0 to the away side.
Now, according to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United could let Phil Jones leave the club on a loan deal. Ligue 1 side Bordeaux have sent an offer to the Red Devils to sign the England international on loan for the rest of the season. It has not been mentioned whether it has any other clauses included in the package.
The report from Romano said United are ready to accept an offer from Bordeaux as they want Jones to have more playing time for the rest of the season.
Manchester United are also looking to seal a loan deal for Donny Van de Beek
According to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils are interested in sending Donny Van de Beek on loan until the end of the season. Romano claimed United have agreed offers from Everton and Crystal Palace in the last few days. The future destination for Van de Beek could be finalized by the player himself.
United are looking for a simple loan deal with no obligation to buy the player as the Red Devils want him to be part of the squad for next season. The same goes for Manchester United star Anthony Martial, who was recently sent on loan to Sevilla.
The Red Devils want Martial back for next season as the future of these players will be decided by the permanent manager who will replace Rangnick in the summer.
