Phil Jones finally 'set to leave' Man Utd as club sanctions departures of several senior players

Phil Jones is finally set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season after 12 years at the club, according to a fresh report.

United have improved drastically since last summer’s arrival of Erik ten Hag, with the Premier League giants still on course to claim a treble.

Indeed, the Old Trafford club won the Carabao Cup in February, their first silverware of any kind since 2017, while they are in the latter stages of both the FA Cup and Europa League.

And United’s improvement has been in part down to the club’s recruitment across the past two transfer windows.

Indeed, while £86million summer signing Antony is still finding his feet in the Premier League, the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro have made an instant and significant impact.

However, given the club’s expenditure this season and Ten Hag’s need to sign a striker, there are likely to be several outgoings this summer.

Phil Jones to finally leave Man Utd

According to ESPN, Jones is set to leave United upon the expiry of his contract in the summer.

The 31-year-old was one of England’s biggest prospects when he signed for United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011.

While he has gone on to make 229 appearances for the club his game time have been limited in recent seasons due to a series of injuries.

While coming out from the cold to play five times last season Jones hasn't managed a single minute for United in any competition this term.

And ESPN’s Rob Dawson confirmed the former England international is set to leave United at the end of the season alongside Axel Tuanzebe, who is also coming to the end of his contract.

Meanwhile United are ready to listen to offers for several senior players, with Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Dean Henderson having all garnered interest.
