QPR have attempted to pull off a swap deal for Wigan Athletic winger Callum McManaman.

The Daily Mail says QPR have failed in a bid to swap Matt Phillips for McManaman of Wigan.

Phillips has played a bit-part role at the struggling R's so far this season, but was reluctant to drop down a division and wants to stay and fight for his place at Loftus Road instead.

The clubs also discussed the possibility of a deal for Shaun Maloney for whom Wigan have already agreed a £1million fee with Leicester City.
