Manchester United are ready to sell defender Phil Jones, 24, in January, with Liverpool and Arsenal interested. (Sun)


Good luck to Liverpool.

We have 5 defenders (7 if we count Bielik and Chambers )
Wouldn't make sense to buy anymore CBs

If a defender or any player in any position is better than anyone we have then we buy them.

Jones however isn't one of them

I remember Wenger getting proper stick for not bidding for Jones when Utd went in for him. The next great English CB.

I love peoples memories.

Had we not got Chambers and Holding and Gabirla and Mustafi since then, then I'd take Jones. However, we've got enough shoddy backups now that we don't need him.

I actually like him more as a Jose style DM destroyer, he did well there for Fergie but we don't play like that. Nothing to do with memories, it's about times and needs changing, plus some players do stagnate, are 'people' supposed to predict that?
