Manchester United transfer news: Phil Jones will cost £15m to sign
Manchester United have set a huge price-tag of £15 million on out-of-favour defender Phil Jones, according to the Daily Star. The 29-year-old has been getting almost no game time at Old Trafford this season.

Aside from the Magpies, Everton, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Burnley have also been credited with an inte...
