Man Utd misfit concerned January exit could collapse due to one reason Phil Jones is growing concerned that he may not be able to complete his departure from Manchester United this winter, according to reports. Jones is a long-serving member of the United squad, but has fallen out of favour recently. He was left out of their Premier League squad list this season, in part due to injury. With no action on the horizon, the defender is now looking for a way out of the club he has been at since 2011. Fortunately for him, there is still a top flight team interested in his services. Jones has been linked with a move to Burnley in recent weeks. He has spent his entire career in the north-west of England, and a move to Turf Moor would see him just 20 miles away from his birthplace, Preston. However, according to the Daily Star such a move depends on Burnley’s proposed takeover. Mohamed El Kashany and Chris Farnell are considering a £200m takeover bid for the club. If it goes through, it would improve Burnley’s financial situation – and that would have a knock-on effect on Jones’ chances of a move.
