Bordeaux plan late move for Man Utd defender Jones

Bordeaux are eyeing Manchester United defender Phil Jones.

The centre-back has made just one appearance this season but impressed with an assured performance against Wolves 712 days after his last first team appearance.

The 29-year-old is one of several United players keen to leave Old Trafford and make a fresh start.

Talk from Bordeaux is at the early stages but Jones would be open to making the move, says the Daily Mail.

After excluding former Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny from their first team squad, Bordeaux signed 34-year-old Brazilian defender Marcelo from Lyon yesterday, but want to add another versatile defender.

Jones has played at centre-back, full-back and defensive midfield during his time with United and previously Blackburn.
